General Information
Founded by Garanti Bank- a leading Turkish bank and active sponsor of the arts- Garanti Gallery (GG) is the only institution in Istanbul with an exclusive focus on the exhibition of design-work. It was being opened in August 2003 and had more than 125,000 visitors in 17 exhibitions. The core team has 2 employees. But the services of a graphics company and a pr company are taken. The 2006 budget for GG is USD 250,000. This budget is shared among the exhibitions. When needed the sponsorship of the cultural institutions (like the consulates/cultural attaches) can be taken.
