Experiences

Something transformative is happening in Cappadocia, and more is on the horizon. In Cappadocia, a favourite destination for its unique beauty, at the heart of Anatolia, we aim to establish a one-of-a-kind art center. Our greatest inspiration on this journey undoubtedly comes from art and nature. We were inspired by the words of the great writer Yaşar Kemal: “As if a tribe of fairies came to Anatolia from the steppes of Asia, taking their tents, mounting their horses and gathering their camels, sheep, goats and belongings. Each of them touched a stone, and it became embroidery. Every stone they held became embroidery.” We, too, are preparing to turn the stones touched by İsmet Öztanık and Özgür Karaçak into a canvas for artistic expression.

In collaboration with Lucis Initiative and Artists & Collectors, we aim to create an art and culture center where Cappadocia will be talked about not only for its stones and natural and geographical features, but also for its artistic production and projects.

Opening: June 2027
