The Bazaart project, established in 2011 under the Yeniköy Rotary Club, is an art initiative that provides fine arts students and recent graduates with the opportunity to exhibit their works, connect with collectors, and engage with art enthusiasts.

Inspired by the idea of “Art for Every Home,” the Bazaart project emphasizes that art and art collecting are not luxuries but should be accessible to everyone.

One of the key reasons for its growing demand is its strong brand identity and reputation as a well-known, widely followed event in the emerging artists’ scene. Continuously expanding its goals, Bazaart moves forward each year. In this edition, the project is organized into four categories: painting, sculpture, photography, and glass art.

Driven by the idea that art should be accessible to everyone, the Bazaart project continues its work under the motto “Art for Every Home.” This year, approximately 1,500 artworks were submitted for consideration. The project’s selection committee includes Entrepreneur and Curator Dila Kabakçı, Bazaart Committee Member Mine Günay, Artist Horasan, Art Consultant/Curator Feride Çelik, and Artist/Academic Zeynep Abacı.

In its 14th edition, Bazaart explores themes such as self-discovery, roots and homeland, the realm of dreams, and innocence, inspired by the works submitted by young artists. These concepts emerge through a structured process—starting with the application and selection phases, followed by jury evaluations shaping the narrative and manifesto research, and finally culminating in the curatorial team’s arrangement of the artworks.

Observations from previous Bazaart projects highlight the importance of the invited audience and collectors, followed by artists and the social dynamics within the exhibition space. In this context, ensuring that the venue is spacious and maintains a harmonious flow is crucial for the exhibition’s success.

On Thursday, March 13, a large audience filled Galeri Deniz, with many art enthusiasts visiting from the entrance and lobby of Denizbank to view the artworks. Each year, Bazaart continues to reach more young artists and expand its impact.

The exhibition will take place from March 13 to March 22, 2025, at Denizbank Headquarters / Galeri Deniz (open daily from 10:30 AM to 4:30 PM, except Sundays).
