About Me

Alwan for the Arts serves the Arab community in New York City and the tri-state area, and aims to educate the broader public by showcasing a range of cultural events, thereby enriching the cross- cultural and artistic encounter. Alwan is committed to maintaining a space for reflection, dialogue, and growth in the arts and cultures of the peoples of the Middle and Near East, North Africa and their diasporas.

Since 1998, Alwan for the Arts has played a leading role in promoting the diverse cultures of Arab and related Middle Eastern societies. Alwan organizes film festivals and screenings, book/poetry readings and signings, lectures and conferences, art exhibits, musical and theatrical performances, and language and literature classes. In 2003, Alwan established a center in lower Manhattan which provides a physical base for its diverse cultural activities.

Alwan for the Arts is a 501(c)3 not-for-profit organization. Donations are welcome and are instrumental in supporting our activities. To make a fully-tax-deductible donation, click here: Donate to Alwan for the Arts
