Mayor Eşki: “Art Is a Part of Life in Bornova”

Bornova Mayor Ömer Eşki emphasized that, alongside essential municipal services, the local government places great importance on cultural and artistic activities. Stating that their goal is to bring artistic production to every neighborhood, Mayor Eşki said:

“In Bornova, we do not see art as an activity reserved only for professionals. Art is one of the most important elements that grows through the participation of citizens of all ages and strengthens our social bonds. Through these workshops, where children can discover their talents and young people and adults can socialize while gaining new skills, we will enjoy a vibrant and productive summer. I invite all residents of Bornova—especially our children, who are our future—to take part in these wonderful courses.”
