ArtWriting Turkey is founded with the aim to unearth and support young and emerging art critics and writers. Initiated by Mixer in November 2013, ArtWriting Turkey brings emerging and experienced art writers together and aims to rejuvenate the scene by organizing workshops, exhibition tours and discussion meetings.

In 2017, AWT is asking for entries from newbies of the scene. Top 10 articles will be published on Mixer’s website and will have a publication of 1000 copies which will be distributed to the libraries of museums, universities and established collections. Three writers will be commissioned to write a review for IstanbulArtNews April Issue. This year IstanbulArtNews editor-at-large Yasemin Bay, writer Cem Erciyes, journalist and member of AICA Evrim Altuğ will review the articles.
Applicants of the Open Call are requested to submit three unpublished reviews of a recent (November, December, January) contemporary art exhibition, a piece on an artwork or an artist, which should be 400 words in length each. Applications should be e-mailed as a Word attachment to info@mixerarts.com.
