Bay Root Art is a Collaborative Art Community for Middle Eastern Artists in the Bay Area founded by Hala Kaddoura.

 

Hala recently moved from Lebanon to San Francisco after spending most of her life there. After 6 months of being in the Bay Area, she noticed how misrepresented the Middle East in general and Lebanon, in particular, is in the US. People associated Lebanon with images of War, destruction, and extremism.

 

Through launching Bay Root Art, Hala wants to bridge the cultural barrier between the Middle East & the US through Art. Hala hopes through this initiative to give Middle Eastern Artists a space to collaborate and create art projects that represent diversity and progressiveness in the Middle East.

 

Bay Root Art will launch its first event: Stories from the Streets of Lebanon on August 26, 2017, in San Francisco. To create this event and sustain this initiative in the long term, we need your help.

 

For this event we need to cover the below costs:

- Venue Rental

- Equipment Rental

- Artists Fees

- Printing & Promotion

 

We will be raising money to cover this event and upcoming events.

 

Our long term is to turn Bay Root Art into a nonprofit, where Middle Eastern Artists where have the opportunity to meet at a permentant Studio on a weekly basis to collaborate on projects with the art suppplies that Bay Root will offer.
