The Return of Design at the Beirut Art Center

The Beirut Art Center is once again staging design exhibitions to part-finance its public contemporary art programme. Despite Lebanon's profound crises, the BAC continues to operate and promote art and culture. The designers who previously exhibited their creations between 2010 and 2014 at BAC Design are back. Among them are such eminent names as Nada Debs, Karen Chekerdjian, Karim Chayaa, Nathalie Khayat, Rania Sarakbi, and Milia Maroun.

These artists, who have benefited from an individual or collective platform offered by the BAC, have contributed to the growing interest in design in the region. The current exhibition features pieces such as Chekerdjian's 'Monolith' vase and Massoud's 'Elephant' table, testifying to the vitality and creativity of Lebanese design.
