”ART FOR PEACE”

Each artist is a “peace-artist” who devotes oneself to art…

Art is the conjunction point of the paths opening to
“the World Peace” and the luminous face of peace…Art lets
heat, color, feel, think and inquire. It is an atmosphere, where
the balance and communication between the internal and
external worlds will be scrutinized and commented, within the
aesthetic solutions can be embraced.

Peace is a concept which we imagine as a harmony of the life...
The Art looks for beauty, harmony and brings human-being
towards freedom. The ART and PEACE are intensively
one within the other. Peace is with art, art is in peace!!…
Having been originated from different cultures, we unified our
experiences on the concept of “ART for PEACE” to realize the
first step of this project in Istanbul.

"Artists for Peace" argue; to have friendship, brother -
sisterhood and peace between multi-cultures and to create the
peace will not be just a dream, but instead, a necessity and
reality of being an artist and human. Our art action for peace is
a concrete and real indicator of our togetherness, which started
at virtual domain. We insist on upgrading this “Ship of Peace”,
which will depart from Istanbul Bosphorus, to a “Fleet of Peace”,
by participating more "Artists for Peace" from all over
the world and we say “welcome !” to everyone and every
institution, who wants to support our initiative.

ARTISTS FOR PEACE ART ACTION exhibit the art works, created
in active attitude against the destruction and nonsense of
violence and war. The action present by emphasizing the
necessity of love, friendship, solidarity, human rights, pluralistic
communication between different cultures, respect and
tolerance to each other and ART FOR PEACE!!!

We say ; NO to VIOLENCE and WAR!!! , YES to ART and PEACE !!!
