PHOTOS OF FALL FESTIVAL AT YARMOUK CULTURAL CENTER

Last Friday on 25th November, DAI held a unique 'Fall Festival', an interesting concept that featured everything felicitously artistic in two lovely open roof  courtyards of Yarmouk Cultural Center. I enjoyed every moment being there. In one of the two courtyards were local artists with their creative work in the form of paintings, mixed media, sculpted wares, decopatch, fine art, ink painting, glass painting, hand made artsy products and crafts. Live painting on canvases by artists was a sublime highlight. A motor cycle got a live hip makeover in luscious colors by affable hands of artists. In the second courtyard was the food stalls and live music and dance events. We reached in the evening and so we missed some of the performances. We got to see an Armenian dance, live music by talented vocalists, and hip hop by dancers from LAPA Loyac.

It was wonderful evening out. I hope we get to see more art inspired events like these. Let me share some photos of this lovely event.

AFRICAN ART EXHIBITION - PAINTING AND HANDCRAFTS

A beautiful African Art Exhibition of modern, contemporary, landscape, country life and portrait paintings and handcrafts was held at Museum of Modern Art two weeks back.  I loved the paintings, it's composition as well as the handcrafted storage baskets, intricately beaded frames for photos and mirrors and wild life inspired ceramic tea sets. Although it's a late post, I wanted to share this commendable work by the artists and artisans.
