Arts Canteen is a place for stirring the arts. We curate events, exhibitions and festivals that support emerging artists from the Arab World and their diasporas in bringing their work to new audiences in the UK and beyond. We work with UK-based educational, non-profit, arts and outreach organisations to facilitate the exchange of art and ideas across social and geographical boundaries. Many artists from the Arab World face almost insurmountable difficulties in creating and displaying their work, and our projects provide a platform for them to gain exposure while also bringing enjoyable and enriching experiences to our audiences.
We are experienced in curating and producing events, exhibitions and festivals around the country. We are particularly eager to work in partnership with a wide range of organisations. Past partners have ranged from universities (Durham, Kent) to local arts organisations (Rich Mix, The Tabernacle and the Arab British Centre) and we have taken our projects from world-class music venues (Union Chapel) to local galleries (The Stone Space). We have also been commissioned to curate events and have served as a partner in major festivals such as the Nour Festival, Shubbak Festival, Eid on the Square (Mayor of London), The London African Music Festival as well as the Liverpool Arab Arts Festival. If you are interested in working with us, please get in touch.
