Arleb online gallery was launched in February 2021 as a not-for-profit digital platform dedicated to artists and creative enterprises in Lebanon. It aims at empowering local artists by offering them an opportunity to showcase and sell their artworks to new audiences on an international level. It also seeks to raise awareness about resilience & resistance arts and culture produced by emerging and marginalized artists.
Selected emerging and established artists by Arleb provide a critical lens that educates, provokes, and holds a mirror to the Lebanese society, influencing what gets attention in the public sphere, addressing social, political and environmental issues through their artworks, and demonstrating their potency to building inclusive societies.
Arleb is one of the Nabad program 2020-2021 projects, and, as such, an outgrowth of Dar al Kalima University. Dar al Kalima was established in 2006 in Bethlehem – Palestine -, focusing its educational objectives on the performing arts, visual arts, and cultural heritage. Based on its expertise generated over 15 years, Dar al Kalima started in 2019 an art intervention/outreach program in Gaza, and in 2020 the Nabad program in Beirut which strives to become a regional program.
Arleb/Nabad’s team is based in Beirut.
