In time, artists' workshops increased and galleries were opened. The artists from different disciplines Kuzguncuk 's neighbor relations have changed to communicate with each other. From this association, an interactive project has emerged, which includes all Kuzguncuk people and all the artists living in Kuzguncuk. In this activity called Kuzguncuk Sanatla İç İçe, they have placed their works in public spaces for 2 consecutive years. Oven, barber, tailor, bus stop, street, pharmacy, park etc. have been used as a very public space exhibition area. The artists placed their works as they wanted to the areas of their choice and created a different steering system by placing a blue wooden chair to give the audience the clue that it was a work of art in that field. The event was supported simultaneously with artists' paintings, photographs, videos and other visual works, as well as performances, 64 drama and painting works with children, music concert and poetry recitals of Kuzguncuk poets. With the workshop of many of the artists involved in the project and the house of the artist in Kuzguncuk, the artists opened their workshops to all the visitors and realized various work shops. A successful example of public space art practices, the Kuzguncuk'la İç İçe activity has been an activity that emphasizes the identity of the place, the sense of belonging, puts the art into the everyday life of the audience, reduces the distance between the audience and the artist and creates constructive bridges in the sense of art communication.
