Note to editors

Creating the right climate for raising creative new generations,

The Istanbul Children and Youth Art Biennial, organised for the fourth time this year by Palet Culture, Art and Education Association (PALETDER), is held in institutional partnership with the Istanbul Provincial Directorate of National Education and Türkiye Eğitim Gönüllüleri Vakfı (TEGV), with the support of the Beyoğlu and Beşiktaş municipalities.

The Istanbul Children and Youth Art Biennial creates a space for sharing grounded in multiculturalism on a global scale, enabling different geographies and cultures to be expressed through the eyes and aesthetics of children. Children and young people, who can create work in many fields at the Biennial, from performance to dance and from video art to sculpture, also lead the way in building effective intercultural communication.

Enriched by the exhibitions, concerts, events and workshops of students on their way to becoming the producers and audiences of arts and culture of the future, the Istanbul Children and Youth Art Biennial is followed by a wide audience of writers, artists, art lovers, teachers, students, parents and members of the press. Previous Biennials, held at a variety of venues across Istanbul including its ferries, squares, railway stations, warehouses, galleries and museums, have been visited by 160,000 people.
