Karamanoğlu Mehmetbey University International Journal of Art and Design is an international, open-access, and peer-reviewed academic journal that publishes high-quality articles and reviews in the fields of art and design. The journal accepts articles in both Turkish and English and is published twice a year, in June and December.

The primary aim of the journal, which is based on the inseparable relationship between art and design disciplines, is to contribute to the holistic consideration of these two fields. Just as art cannot sustain its existence in today’s world without design, design that lacks artistic aesthetics and values would fall short in meeting user expectations. In this context, the journal does not regard art and design disciplines separately but instead encourages scientific studies that explore the intersection of these fields.

Karamanoğlu Mehmetbey University International Journal of Art and Design aims to contribute to knowledge production in the fields of art and design by publishing the scientific studies of academicians and researchers working in these areas. The journal seeks to establish a knowledge base that supports developments in art and design and is committed to publishing high-quality research and articles with strong scientific foundations. In doing so, it continues its mission of serving as a reliable publication platform for the academic community and scholars engaged in art and design.

Art and design are boundless concepts, yet they are fundamentally contextual. The meaning of art and design emerges through an in-depth examination and analysis of contextual elements. These contextual elements include the artwork itself, the artist, technical conditions, political and aesthetic approaches, economic foundations, and many other factors. Local knowledge is considered valuable only to the extent that it paves the way for universal virtue. Therefore, knowledge derived from local examples should focus on answering theoretical and practical questions related to the purpose of art’s existence.

Karamanoğlu Mehmetbey University International Journal of Art and Design is an international peer-reviewed journal that embraces this philosophy in its editorial structure.
