We talked to Meriç Aktaş Ateş about art direction and the Great Efes Art Collection

We are both colleagues and friends with Meriç Aktaş Ateş. We have done exhibition projects together for years. I love his energy, hard work and sincerity.

Meriç Aktaş Ateş is an art manager who lives in Istanbul but whose heart beats for İzmir. Ateş's art fair work, which consists of exhibitions, interviews and conference events organized under the name of "Great Efes Art Days" at SwissHotel Izmir, is a very important event for the development of art in Izmir. In addition, it is a great pleasure for art lovers from Izmir to be together with the artists and speakers who come to Ephesus Art Days from Istanbul.

In this episode, we talked with Meriç Aktaş Ateş about the hotel collections and the stories of the collections. The area where we shot was also very special. Resembling an open-air museum with its garden, Büyük Efes also resembles a large exhibition hall with its collections in its interior. For those who are curious about the collection, let me state that there is no hotel accommodation requirement. You can visit the collection by making an appointment in advance.

I have the utmost respect for those who take everything they do seriously. That's why I've always loved SwissOtel Büyük Efes İzmir , which meticulously approaches from its cafe, restaurants, bar, rooms, exhibition hall and art collection, in short, respects and values ​​people.
