The “All Shades of Colors” collective art show will take place from February 12 to 22, from 2 PM to 7 PM, at Rebirth Beirut in Gemmayze. The opening ceremony will be held on Wednesday, February 12, from 5 PM to 9 PM.

After two exhibitions in 2022 and 2023, Artists of Beirut presents this new edition featuring works by 18 artists, along with the Boutique collection. The theme All Shades of Colors brings together an eclectic collection of over 50 artworks created using various techniques, including painting, sculpture, mixed media, drawing, upcycling, mosaics, photography and digital art.

“In a world composed of a myriad of colors, each shade tells a story. In celebrating diversity, we embrace the idea that our differences are not merely variations but integral components of a greater whole. Beauty does not reside in uniformity but in the rich variety of shades that paint our world and our colorful city of Beirut,” states Artists of Beirut.

The exhibition will also feature two artistic workshops. The “Power of Colors” workshop, centered around the exhibition’s theme, will be led by artist Zeina Chehab on Monday, February 17, from 3 PM to 4 PM. The “Colorful Shapes” workshop will follow, hosted by artist Paulette Eid on Thursday, February 20, from 3 PM to 4 PM.

True to the mission of Artists of Beirut, the exhibition will contribute to the restoration of Beirut. Part of the proceeds will be donated to support Rebirth Beirut NGO’s initiatives, which focus on rebuilding and preserving the city.

The artists participating in the show include Julie Bou Farah, Melissa Chalhoub, Zeina Chehab, Maral Der Boghossian and Gulen Torossian Der Boghossian, Paulette Eid, Caline Farah, Karin Hantes, Nada Karam, Rabab Malaeb, Maral Maniss, Lama Mansour, Nevine Mattar, Maya Nsouli, Sarah Saba, Arlette Sauveur, Maya Tohme and the guest artist Yolande Labaki.

Artists of Beirut was launched by Carole Ayoub and Yara Jahchan in June 2020. As a socially responsible initiative, this concept aims to foster Lebanon’s creative economy by promoting and supporting the talents of Lebanese women artists and artisans. The project also advocates for the restoration and preservation of Beirut’s cultural heritage.
