• Artistic & Cultural Awakening

Art and Culture are two important pillars in the formation of the Lebanese society. Nourishing it will improve people’s mental and physical health, and it will also create a network of local artists who can share their know-how and expand Lebanese Art & Culture to more actors. Alissar will fund cultural projects related to the enrichment of the Lebanese Art and Culture. Projects should be about the Lebanese scene, using Lebanese resources and know-how.
