Mine Art Gallery

Mine Art Gallery established the infrastructure of the idea of ​​modern art in the Kadıköy district of Istanbul in 1983 and officially started its activities in 1985 in its first place on Kuşdili street. The works of Adnan ÇOKER, Mustafa ATA, Zekai ORMANCI, Serhat KİRAZ, Yusuf TAKTAK and Nur KOÇAK, who supported the establishment of the gallery with their ideas, also created the first exhibition held in the gallery. In the establishment of the gallery, the Anatolian side of Istanbul was preferred and the task of filling the lack of contemporary art gallery of the region in question was undertaken. As a matter of fact, in 1989, the gallery left its location on Altıyol and continued its activities from Kızıltoprak with joint projects realized with Architect Ahmet Uysal. From 1991 onwards, the first floor of the three-storey building on Bahariye Sokullu Sokak has been evaluated as the exhibition space, the second floor is a panel and art chat venue, and the third floor is the artshow. Finally, he continued to work with two venues in Bağdat Caddesi, Ogün Street.
