The Istanbul Foundation for Culture and Arts (Turkish: İstanbul Kültür Sanat Vakfı), colloquially referred to as İKSV,[1] [2] is a non-profit foundation, based in Turkey. It was founded in 1973 by seventeen businesspeople and art enthusiasts led by Dr. Nejat F. Eczacıbaşı.[3]
The goal of the foundation is to turn Istanbul into a major center within the international culture and arts community.[4] The first international event initiated by the foundation was the Istanbul Festival, first held at 1973, coinciding with the 50th anniversary celebrations of the Turkish Republic.[5] Currently, the foundation coordinates several annual festivals and biennials, a performance hall and other cultural operations linked to its purpose.[6]
The foundation is currently based at Sishane, at the Nejat Eczacıbaşı Building (formerly called Deniz Palas).[7] Besides the offices, the building also hosts a performance hall called Salon, which is also run by the foundation.[8]
