The international group exhibition organized by faculty members from Istanbul Gelisim University (İGÜ) and Shumen University in Bulgaria continues to engage art lovers at the Nikola Marinov Art Gallery in Bulgaria. Curated by Prof. İsmet Çavuşoğlu from the Department of Graphic Design at IGU’s Faculty of Fine Arts (FFA), the exhibition was inaugurated with the participation of IGU Vice Rector Prof. Dr. Necmettin Maraşlı. This exhibition stands as a symbol of artistic collaboration between the two universities, bringing together artists from both Turkey and Bulgaria under one roof.

The artists added depth to the exhibition with pieces that merge different cultural perspectives through various techniques and themes. The event aims to strengthen cultural bonds between the two universities through the universal language of art, offering viewers a rich visual experience.

The exhibition has drawn considerable attention in Bulgaria, receiving coverage in the Targovishte press. Renowned Targovishte journalists İsmet Çavuşoğlu and Plamen Padonov visited the exhibition and conducted an interview with Prof. İsmet Çavuşoğlu. In this interview, Prof. Çavuşoğlu highlighted IGU’s dedication to the arts and introduced the artists and their works, promoting both IGU and Turkish art to the Bulgarian public.
