Baksı Museum (Bayburt)
The Baksı Museum is located near the Black Sea, 45 kilometres from Bayburt on a hilltop overlooking the Çoruh Valley. Rising in what used to be called Baksı and is now the village of Bayraktar, this unusual museum offers contemporary art and traditional handicrafts side by side under one roof. Covering 30 hectares with its exhibition halls, workshops, conference hall, library and guest houses, the Baksı Museum sprouted in the year 2000 in the mind of Hüsamettin Koçan, an artist and educationalist born in Bayburt. To make this idea a reality, a foundation was established in 2005. Thanks to the contribution of many volunteers, especially artists, over the years the museum became a truly social project, and after a decade’s odyssey was finally completed in 2010, having received no financial support from the government at any time along the way.

Diyarbakır Art Centre (DSM)
The Diyarbakır Art Centre is supported by Anadolu Kültür and the centre started out with visiting exhibits, lecture series, film screenings and theatre productions that brought cultural productions of the western parts of Turkey together with Diyarbakır. The workshops brought creative energy from the west and the east together to create, and DSM quickly evolved into a stage where artists from all around the globe worked together in multicultural and multidisciplinary projects that transcend geographic, linguistic and political divides. DSM has proven an inspiring case for grassroots cooperation and engagement with local actors, including Dicle University, the greater and local municipal governments, the bar association, the chamber of industry and commerce, women’s groups, physicians’ associations, and the state theatre organisation.
