	The Visual Arts Department of the Moon and Stars Project focuses solely on projects that involve the visual arts – painting, sculpture, video, photography, installations, and mixed media. The goals of the Visual Arts Department include promoting and fostering the professional collaboration, networking, and interaction of Turkish and American artists; building bridges between the American and Turkish art scenes; and providing artists with the support, exposure, funding, and access to venues needed to reach new audiences and gain international recognition.
