Participants shared their work through various art forms, including painting, digital art, typography, photography, and installation.
Thanks to the online format, the exhibition was accessible not only to the university community but also to art enthusiasts around the world. This broad accessibility enhanced both its international reach and inclusivity for viewers and participants alike.
On this special day of celebrating art, we extend our heartfelt thanks to all artists and contributors who made the exhibition possible. We especially thank the Graphic Design Department of Istanbul Gelisim University Faculty of Fine Arts for its leading role in organizing this meaningful event.
