As Artopol Art Gallery, we wish you a wonderful New Year... We hope that we can leave behind the challenging years experienced during the pandemic and reach healthier, happier days together.
Let 2022 Be the Year of Art
Art is an important force that soothes the human soul, frees one from narrow confines, broadens perspectives, and allows people to live more harmoniously with nature, fellow humans, and all living beings, bringing happiness in the process. Painters, sculptors, musicians, actors, and anyone who incorporates even a small part of art into their lives have all contributed significantly to the development of art. For societal growth, balance, and the ability to innovate and continuously improve, it is crucial that art in a country is engaging, accessible, and widespread.
As an art gallery, we have been continuously working since 2019 to promote the development of arts such as painting and sculpture and to reach all segments of society. While our physical gallery in Istanbul allows us to connect with residents and visitors of the city, our website enables us to reach all of Turkey 24/7. We also want to let you know that in 2021 we carried out significant efforts to ensure our website reaches all art lovers and continue to work on developing our investments in this area.
In 2022, we will continue our efforts with the same dedication and joy, furthering our goal of supporting art and artists. We hope the New Year brings greater interest in art and artists in Turkey, along with increased support for them. As the Artopol family, our support for art and artists will continue to grow in 2022.
Reaching All of Turkey in 2021
Through our website, we expanded beyond Istanbul and reached all 81 provinces, showcasing the works of our artists throughout Turkey. We received thousands of inquiries about our highly sought-after artworks and carefully responded to each one. We ensured that art is accessible and that the works of our esteemed artists could be appreciated by all art enthusiasts, receiving very positive feedback. Guided by the principle that art is for society, we made it easy for anyone interested in art to reach us without hesitation. We supported both our artists and art lovers under all conditions and expanded our presence across all platforms. By participating in various fairs and events, we also built close connections with art enthusiasts via social media. As a result, we never ignored the passion of art lovers to gain knowledge and have always supported their love for art.
While browsing our website, if you want more information about a particular artwork or artist, you can always reach out to us and be assured that you will receive transparent and detailed information. Our art consultants are ready to answer all your questions with care and enthusiasm.
Innovations in Art
Since 2020, especially due to the pandemic, the growth of online platforms has led to significant changes across all sectors, including the art world. The increase of online art galleries allowed art lovers to access artworks 24/7 without being limited by physical location. Previously, art enthusiasts living in major cities had an advantage in accessing artworks and information, but the rise of online galleries allowed those interested in art but limited by location to enjoy the same benefits. As a result, artworks reached a wider audience and interest in art increased significantly. The accessibility of art benefits not only art lovers but also artists, allowing them to share their works and stories with a broader audience.
The prominence and value of online platforms have also given rise to a new area in the art world: NFT. Non-fungible tokens (NFTs) are a form of digital certification, not an art form itself. However, by enabling the circulation of art in virtual spaces and embracing contemporary art’s openness to innovation, NFTs have become associated with art. Many artists began creating NFTs based on existing works, while some launched their first artworks as NFTs. NFTs, which have garnered global attention, have allowed many people to acquire their first artworks or enabled collectors to expand their collections. NFTs have also contributed to social responsibility projects, increasing interest and participation in this field.
Art Events We Participated in 2021
In 2021, we participated in the IAAF Istanbul Art & Antique Fair and Contemporary Istanbul. These events allowed us to connect with valuable art enthusiasts and helped our artists’ works reach a wider audience.

Happy New Year
We hope 2022 marks the beginning of years where everyone is more immersed in art, follows their passion in at least one area of art, finds themselves within the world of art, and achieves the highest level of spiritual creativity. We wish everyone a beautiful, happy, and healthy 2022.
