The awards ceremony commenced with a short film based on the theme “Sakip Sabanci and Art”. Speaking at the ceremony after Prof. Dr. Deniz Incedayi, Turkan Sabanci emphasized that Sakip Sabanci deeply valued art and artists: “Sakip Bey believed that real rich people were artists. He used to say ‘Your life perspective should be rich first, then wealth would follow it’. As a family, we have always put great importance on the creativity of artists and tried to contribute to this immense richness. We are proud to sustain his legacy and carry it to our day”, said Sabanci.

Following the speeches, achieving students from the  “Painting, Sculpture and Traditional Turkish Arts” Departments received their awards. Guests were then invited by the Sabanci Foundation to tour the “Joan Miro. Women, Birds, Stars” exhibition at the Sakip Sabanci Museum.
