Situated in one of the busiest spots in Beyoğlu, İstiklal Art Gallery was established by the Beyoğlu Municipality to enhance the visibility of culture and art in the public sphere. Housed in a historic early 20th-century building with a modernist façade, the gallery features expansive windows and high-ceilinged halls, creating a setting where art engages directly with the city’s vibrant fabric.

As a key component of the municipality’s cultural programme, the gallery hosts exhibitions, workshops, and events across a wide range of disciplines. In the dynamic flow of İstiklal Avenue, it brings together the works of local and international artists, securing a distinctive position on Istanbul’s contemporary art map.
