Organized by Agenda Culturel, Beirut Art Days invites locals and visitors to rediscover the city as a living canvas. Over four vibrant days the streets of Beirut will host more than 130 events across 50 venues, featuring over 250 artists from Lebanon and beyond.
From contemporary exhibitions and street performances to film screenings concerts talks and workshops, the program spans every corner of the city and every form of expression.
The event is held under the patronage of the Lebanese Ministry of Culture with support from the Dalloul Art Foundation and the Loubna Khalil Foundation, two major players in Lebanon’s cultural landscape.
Beirut Art Days makes art accessible and participatory. This year’s edition transforms the capital into an open air stage proving once again that Beirut is not just a city but a cultural force. As HE Ghassan Salamé, Lebanon’s Minister of Culture, puts it: “Art is a vital shared good. It does not aim to beautify reality but to question it, confront it and open it up.”
The full program for Beirut Art Days is now live and contains all event listings, locations and participating institutions.
