The Bahrain Arts Society Annual Exhibition

Founded in 1983 under the leadership of His Excellency Sheikh Rashid bin Khalifa Al Khalifa, President of the National Council for Arts and Honorary President of the Bahrain Arts Society, the Society has played a pivotal role in advancing the visual arts movement in Bahrain. It is proud to have amongst its members some of the most renowned artists from Bahrain and the region - pioneers of the art scene, academics, and emerging talents—who together contribute to shaping the artistic landscape of Bahrain and beyond through a diverse range of creative works.

Under the leadership of Sheikha Marwa bint Rashid Al Khalifa, the Bahrain Arts Society has continually worked to elevate the presence of Bahraini artists, showcasing their talent and achievements both locally and internationally. Through the organization of numerous solo and group exhibitions, Bahraini artists have gained recognition on key global art platforms.

In celebration of its 40th anniversary, the Society is hosting its annual exhibition at the Arts Center, featuring artists from different generations. The exhibition will present a wide array of artworks, including painting, photography, sculpture, and mixed media, highlighting the rich cultural heritage of Bahrain while honoring its ongoing connection to local traditions.
