About Arkas Art Centre

Discover the Arkas Art Center, a cultural gem in Izmir that features a wide variety of artwork. This center provides art enthusiasts with an enthralling experience, housed in a beautiful two-story building that dates back to 1906. There's plenty of room for exhibiting and making different kinds of art, with nine exhibition halls and a workshop.


The Arkas Art Center was founded under the direction of Lucien Arkas, Chairman of Arkas Holding, to share the amazing Arkas Collection with the community. This initiative demonstrates Izmir's commitment to encouraging cultural awareness. Explore the vibrant art scene at Arkas Art Centre in Turkey with our Turkey packages, immersing you in contemporary creativity and cultural richness.


The centre is in a historically important part of the building that used to be the French Honorary Consulate and faces the sea. It brought fresh life to this architectural treasure in November 2011 after undergoing a thorough repair.


The Arkas Art Center is the first art gallery in Izmir to show paintings by well-known artists from around the world. It adds to the local art scene and the conversation about art around the world.
