International Mail Art Exhibition-Open Call
We are delighted to invite you to our special artistic event, “Letters from the 100th Year,” which we will commemorate with great significance on the 100th anniversary of the establishment of the Republic of Turkey.
This unique event aims to portray a historical narrative that stretches from Turkey’s struggle for independence to the declaration of the Republic, highlighting fundamental rights and freedoms, all through an artistic perspective. We eagerly anticipate every art enthusiast’s contribution to creating letters and artworks that reflect the achievements, values, women’s rights, and equality of the
Republic of Turkey.
As our central theme, we have chosen “Freedom” and intend to integrate this theme with the essence of the Turkish nation’s quest for freedom, the fundamental principles of the Republic, and the National Struggle led by Mustafa Kemal Atatürk. Your artistic expressions will profoundly reflect and carry forward the heroic epic that laid the foundations of our Republic and the meaning
of freedom to future generations.
You can contribute to our event by sending your artistic letters to the provided contact address. The works you send will be exhibited in a dedicated exhibition space for the event and published on our website.
