Could we add “arts†to the title as “Turkish fine arts, poetry and literature?â€

Great idea about fine arts, though I think, too, that you should ask moderators where to put that thread so that it doesn't end as "Off-topic". I am sure they will like the idea, it deserves to be considered seriously. Maybe "Turkey" forum would be best for it (and be sure I'll join it!)
For niobe and his wonderful ideas:

Fine arts are not a bad idea indeed  This is for you niobe
I’m, of course, ready to support fine arts as a sepatare forum category, maybe in Turkish Culture and Literature part – if we have Turkish Food Recipes, why shouldn’t we have Fine Arts? - but I’m definitely not ready to discuss furniture, architecture and ceramics in Poetry and Literature forums!

The only attempts I can recall, to have a thread about turkish fine arts here in TC, were
Pictures of Istanbul
and
One face a thousand words
I'd love to see more...

Then he must have said such a thing out of ignorance! Istanbul is lucky to have such a wonderful museum of modern art and has some very talented up and coming young artists.
People always object to "modern" art (they said the same of Monet and Van Gogh and even of the Eiffel Tower!!) There will always people who want to see an almost photographic representation of a scene but its a very old fashioned idea dating back to pre-photographic eras. Modern art is the most expressive artform (in my opinion).
Maybe abstract expressionists like Jackson Pollock have put people off?

Ahh sorry, when I said "gallery" I meant more exhibition/museum rather than commercial galleries.
Anyway, it looks fantastic:-
