About

Art of the Mid East is a blog dedicated to the promotion and understanding of Middle Eastern Art. The region is full of extraordinary artists, and the fastest way to showcase the region’s creativity to the rest of the world is through a blog. I have created this blog out of my passion for art, and my belief in a great future for the region’s artists. This blog will be dedicated to showcasing rising Middle Eastern artists and collectors, in addition to discussing events and exhibitions taking place within the region. This blog hopes to show the world another side of the Middle East, one that is cultured and full of creativity. 

Having lived in Beirut for six years, I am well aware of the extraordinary talent in the region. I am also well aware that Middle Eastern art has been getting a great deal of publicity over the past few years, however it deserves much more. 

Through subscription to this blog I hope to create a vast network of the region’s artists, galleries, collectors, and art enthusiasts. Simultaneously, artists will have a platform to showcase their work in a way they never have before. Galleries and collectors will be able to identify and connect with up and coming artists throughout the region.

With my blog I hope to reach every corner of the globe, to people from all walks of life. Through this blog, the people of the region can be reminded of what an incredibly creative part of the world they live in. The people of the world can discover what a culturally rich region the Middle East is.

Enjoy the blog!

All the best,

Taymour Grahne
