ARTEEAST Virtual Gallery - Arts and Cultures of the Middle East and its diasporas

About the Virtual Gallery

ArteEast's Virtual Gallery aims to create an on-line presence for emerging as well as established artists operating within and outside the Middle East. An advisory board comprised of international artists and critics will select one artist's body of work, up to 20 images, to be featured every three months on ArteEast's website

Featured Artist: Saloua Raouda Choucair

April 2008


		In the past ten years, contemporary visual art from the Middle East has garnered unprecedented attention worldwide. Many artists from the region are now sought-after participants in international exhibitions, and new publications have sprung up featuring their work, which has also enjoyed record sales. Yet while many art works and artists now circulate the globe, in-depth knowledge of local art histories does not. Art historians, critics, and artists living in the region produce and rework these histories, often in non-Western languages, yet their work has generally been overlooked in the excitement over contemporary art itself.
