Art at Özyeğin University

 What does art mean for a university?

 Art has always been a significant component of high-level discussions at Özyeğin University. Art has expanded the boundaries of research and discussions across disciplines, ever deepening our comprehension.  It has offered us out-of-the-box perspectives, a new outlook for our respective fields. Over the past few years, high quality discussions were held through art at various departments and faculties at our university, including Architecture and Design, Law, International Relations, and Gastronomy as well as in respective classes and student clubs.  These discussions covered a broad range of topics from “Cruelty to Animals as a Performance of Art” to the question “When can food be considered art?”.

But the hallways on campus do much better than this. In open areas, elevator waiting areas, and almost in every moment of our daily lives, Özyeğin University’s art collection, consisting of over 150 works ranging from serigraphy to sculpture, photography to installation, subtly vests students with knowledge of art, often without even them realizing it. 

We are happy to announce the launch of OzU Arts as a new initiative which builds on Uni-Art’s rich tradition of inconspicuous learning by combining it with our university’s multidimensional academic and personal development programs. A compilation of Uni-Art's extensive collection and artworks from the Özyeğin Family Archive, the beta version of ÖzÜArts is now open to all members of Özu family as the interactive, digital art platform of Özyeğin University.
