culture.
Publisher and Editor-in-Chief, Ali Khadra, describes Canvas as 'a voyage of discovery that sets out to explore art and culture from a new perspective'. Edited by Lisa Ball-Lechgar, numerous international experts on the region's art and culture (both ancient and modern) contribute to every edition.
Since its launch
in Winter 2004, Canvas has received widespread acclaim
from the royal households of the region, leading artists
and devotees of art across the world. Its exclusive
features - from Coco Chanel's private art collection
in Paris to the record-breaking Christie's art auction
in Dubai - seek to enhance the appreciation and understanding
of art from Middle East and Arab world.
In addition, the magazine's free listings supplement, the Canvas Guide, has proven equally popular. Previewing a multitude of international events - from the Sydney Bienniale to Dubai 's Desert Rhythm Festival - the Canvas Guide has helped to establish the region as a hotbed of creativity.
Ali Khadra believes that Canvas reaches beyond the realm of art. 'We live in vulnerable times, in which ethnicity, religion, politics and geography split societies with suspicion rather than uniting people with understanding. By bringing Middle Eastern and Arab art and culture to the world's attention, Canvas is able to showcase all that is good, and has been so for centuries, about the region.'
Canvas is an exclusive magazine with extraordinary content. Available on news stands as well as by subscription, it celebrates the phenomenal power of art.
