Izmir Metropolitan Municipality is improving the working conditions of street artists. "Street Artist Card" will be given to artists who want to freely display their creativity on the street. Artists will be able to exhibit their performances in designated areas after the application.
Izmir Metropolitan Municipality took an exemplary step to improve the working conditions of street artists and raise service standards. The 'Street Artist Card' application will start in order to include more art in daily life. Thus, both ideal conditions will be provided for citizens to meet art on the street and street artists will be able to exhibit their performances legally. Within the scope of the regulation, certain restrictions will be imposed on performing art using sound amplifiers. Application to get a card can be made on izmir.art website. Street Artist Cards will be delivered to beneficiaries until the end of April.
