The productions of the "Sanat Yolunda" project, prepared by Istanbul Modern and carried out by NESCAFÉ Gold with the support of Migros, have been made accessible in the online Participant Gallery. The digital space brings together the works developed by young artists during the two-year program.

From eight cities to a single gallery
In the first year of the project, workshops were held in Nevşehir, Mardin, Trabzon, and Van; in the second year, in Adana, Diyarbakır, Artvin, and Kars. Participants worked with different artists on topics such as memory, sound, nature, the search for new forms, and artificial intelligence-supported research.
Face-to-face workshops were complemented by art history seminars and online meetings. According to the press release, the program reached a total of 200 young artists over two years.

Program output becomes permanent
The Participant Gallery ensures that the works can be viewed even after the program ends. Works produced in different cities thus come together in a single digital display space.
The platform moves the visible output of the sponsored educational project from event news to a permanent archive. The works in the gallery can be examined on Istanbul Modern's website.
