The countdown has begun for Artweeks@Akaretler, which will take place in the unique atmosphere of the "Sıraevler" row houses in Istanbul’s Akaretler neighborhood. The sixth edition of the event will be held between March 30 and April 10.

Akaretler Sıraevler, one of the most important culture and art destinations of Istanbul thanks to its dynamic structure and historical texture, continues to introduce the city to new art.

The highly-anticipated event, organized by Bilgili Art and Sabiha Kurtulmuş, can be visited free of charge.
