FD Sanat Merkezi is a private art school accredited by the Turkish Ministry of National Education, founded in the heart of the city to bring art to anyone who wants it, with the motto "you are never too old to learn".
Our studios are designed for people who want to get away from the stress and monotony of city life and improve their quality of life. All classes are taught by instructors who graduated from the relevant university departments and love what they do.
We introduce participants of every age to the healing power of art and making, guided by expert instructors, and help them become versatile, self-confident people ready for a fast-changing world. By taking people away from the worries, stress and routine of daily life through art, we support their personal growth in many different ways.
To bring as many children, young people and adults as possible into the world of colours, notes, rhythm, making and stage lights, and to give them the space and opportunity to discover their own potential and how art can shape their whole life.
