From the organizer:
CIRCUIT, a space for arts and events located in Yeldeğirmeni, Kadıköy, is excited to host its second annual holiday bazaar, featuring artworks and crafts made by Istanbul-based creatives. Join CIRCUIT for their take on the Christmas Market as they support local artists and celebrate the winter holiday season with festive cookies, mulled wine, apple cider, and holiday tunes. And don’t miss the performance by Martina Pavone and the Istanbul A Cappella Choir on Friday 10.12.2015!
In line with CIRCUIT’s mission of sustainable creativity, the bazaar will maintain an awareness on mindful gift-giving and on sustainable gift packaging and wrapping. As with every event at their space, CIRCUIT requests that visitors do their very best to avoid bringing any single use packaging to the space (disposable coffee cups, plastic water bottles, plastic bags, throw away food containers, etc).
Entrance is free. A percentage of income earned from the bazaar will be donated to a relevant non-profit charity. Check back for the announcement of this year’s charity.
