For three years, Proje4L provided an opportunity for new developments in Turkish contemporary art, helped young artists to gain recognition within the international art scene and organized international exhibitions and conferences. Now it hosts the permanent collection of its founders, Sevda & Can Elgiz. Elgiz Museum of Contemporary Art, is a non-profit organisation dedicated to increasing the profile of contemporary art in Turkey.

Consisting of works by influential Turkish and international artists, 'The Elgiz Collection' represents a wide range of progressive art in different media and illustrates the unerring passion for collecting of it's founders. The objective at the Elgiz Museum is to create a common message through Turkish and international art, promoting visual and cultural diversity. By integrating the work of Turkish artists with that of established International artists the museum effectively facilitates the globalization of Turkish art.

Elgiz Museum organizes lectures and seminars in its conference space by inviting international collectors to share their enthusiasm and their experiences in collecting art.

Another feature of the museum is the "Project Room". The glass partition 'Artvarium', which connects with the main exhibition gallery, is reserved for guest artists to undertake temporary projects.
