“Traveling Art®” is an outreach program focusing on art initiation addressed to schools. It is also be catered by Fondation Saradar Mobile School. This caravan serves as an exhibition facility to display a selection of major Lebanese artists, as well as a wide variety of educational activities and tools.
An initiative for a renewed commitment
Fondation Saradar has developed a very ambitious and challenging cultural project, an unprecedented initiative in Lebanon and the region.
Art initiation.
Preserving our artistic heritage is paramount, more particularly in these difficult times of political, economic and security uncertainty. More than ever, raising children and young people to appreciate Culture and Art is fundamental in consolidating social bonds. Unfortunately, it is not the case in Lebanon, where art education is extremely limited and Lebanese cultural-artistic heritage generally over looked.
Fondation Saradar’s art initiative aims at promoting Lebanese art as an important element of knowledge, as well as an essential pillar of our cultural heritage.
