The book titled “My Art Story” which includes artists’ stories through their own narration, aimed to open alternative expression space, through the arts for the artists of Izmir, who have been negatively affected from the Covid-19 pandemic.

During Covid-19 pandemic, due to suspension of many artistic gatherings, exhibitions, fairs and festivals our artists could not find chances for face-to-face interaction with public and their circle of artists and neither they could sell their products. Within “My Art Story” the digital platform that we tried to create on the basis of volunteering, aimed to make a small contribution for these gatherings and recognition of our artists. Each art branch enriches the other. Gathering of different art branches at the same platform, has established a medium that increases awareness of our artists on their intangible cultural heritage. At this platform they get to know each other and their fields of art. This work in which the artists express their own artistic productions through their own words, has also an aim to create a digital record that many people can reach.
