Sanatta Görünürlük Festivali (Visibility in Arts Festival) is a performance arts festival with free events –encompassing different art disciplines. As a volunteer-based audience development organization, the Visibility in Arts Festival is held in various random locations by independent initiatives. It aims to remind the public that the artist-audience relationship has lost its intensity because of mass media, popular culture, and the monotonous and low-quality flow of information. The festival tries to re-establish the relationship and increase the visibility of the performance. The initiative involves itself in performances, productions, and workshops. It converts places and opens up space for contemporary performances.
