This collaboration is a statement of Art D’Égypte’s commitment to cultural collaboration and diplomacy through art, the event brings together artists, curators, diplomats, and art patrons with a common belief in the value art gives humanity.
“When I started Art D’Égypte, my goal was to combine Egypt’s creative past with its creative present by displaying modern art side-by-side with relics from Egypt’s ancient past,” said Abdel Ghaffar. “Now that we have invited the international art community to exhibit, we have combined Egypt’s creativity with global creativity. Forever Is Now is greatly enriched by the inclusion of these international talents.”
