Indeed, the later was held from 15 January -15 March, at both locations, Bahrain National Museum and Bahrain National Theater.

 The Bahrain Annual Fine Arts Exhibition is considered to be the biggest and most significant annual meeting for fine art pioneers and talented young artists in the Kingdom of Bahrain, mirror that reflects the beautiful comprehensive holistic Bahraini experience and a bight image of the local art scene movement. 

During these virtual tours to this year and previous years’ editions, the public will certainly enjoy an exquisite selection of the most exquisite art works masterminded by refined painters, Bahrainis and artists in residence. Indeed, the Exhibition’s Organizing Committee decided to accept the participation of artists in residence in Bahrain since 2017.

As every year, the art community gathers in this important meeting to display their works among their peers during this event, which will feature more than one hundred participations from artists from different art backgrounds, schools of artistic thought and schools of painting techniques. Free to express their inner feelings and represent their ideas via art, these artists will engender a multitude of styles and techniques, using different means of expression, producing, thus, a variety of art works, paintings, video, assembly constructed art works and other forms of arts.
