Regional art aficionado Saleh Barakat opened this fine space with top Lebanese art critic Joseph Tarrab to promote modern art in Lebanon. Their goal is to seek out talent that media hype around a chosen few may have relegated to oblivion and promote it, something these two are well-placed to do. Every two to three months there is a collective exhibition of local works, alongside a permanent collection of well-known masterpieces that are not otherwise exhibited, specifically those produced before the 1960s.
