About ArteNews

Arts advocates and supporters have a new vehicle to find out about art and cultural happenings in the US and specific areas of the Middle East. ArteNews is a new web based magazine that offers ongoing updates on arts news and events pertaining to the Middle East and its diaspora. Read featured articles that review events, give insight into cultural programs and regional ventures, and offer critical commentary on the cultural and artistic productions that make up the diverse Middle Eastern scene.  Our goal is to provide a wealth of resources that have until now been unavailable in one place. As we continue to develop ArteNews, you will be able to access news and event listings from regional newspapers, film festivals, art galleries, museums, cinemateques and arts and educational institutions.
