About

Tab Gallery has been an open art space located in the center of Yeldeğirmeni district, Kadiköy, home to a lot of artist's studios for many years and is transforming to be the new cultural and social center. Being conscious of this transformation, Tasarım Bakkalı has been a pioneer in the arts and culture side of this change. While exhibiting the works of prominent artists from Turkey, the opportunity to use the same “open space” was also given to the talented local and foreign artists. We can no longer offer an exhibition at the end of the residency period since the gallery space was closed. With the residency program Tasarım Bakkalı aims to be a part of the international art scene, hosting the artists to create their works in a different environment inspired by the new resources of contemporary living. Tasarım Bakkalı is a collective that does not discriminate or classify people. We have always worked with our artists side by side, taking their needs and requests into consideration.
