Engaging with communities through art, education, and cultural exchange.
At Erguvan, our foundational principles inspire every project and community interaction.
Erguvan Art & Academy is the second half of an 18-year dream that began in İzmir, Turkey. Originally housed in a small workshop on the second floor of an old Greek textile building, Erguvan expanded into one of the Aegean’s largest art centers—mentoring over 100 artists and 1,000 students through classes, exhibitions, and community events. In 2021, our vision was reborn in Davis, California, with a renewed global approach.
Erguvan currently manages over 30 distinct initiatives—ranging from media creation (radio, podcasts, livestreams) and music production to local art workshops, creative writing classes, and community activism. Each project hosts its own events, classes, and collaborative activities that empower our global community to learn, create, and share.
