As a leading establishment in Bahrain’s art and cultural scene, Al Riwaq is a non-profit space supporting contemporary art practice and encouraging youth’s creativity.
Since its founding in 1998, the gallery’s vision has been to promote creativity and art value, providing the artists and the public with a platform to exchange ideas, provoke intellectual debate, promote, inspire and develop creative thinking and nurture cultural production.
The gallery promotes its mission by nurturing a strong relationship between art and society through its programs. In order to encourage public awareness and appreciation of visual arts, Al Riwaq hosts local and international group exhibitions, workshops, talks and debates, film screenings and meetings for the art communities and patrons.
Al Riwaq works to encourage and develop talent and creativity by hosting workshops
held by well established artists and artist residencies exchanged with world renowned institutions. Our programs aid in the development of artistic practices and careers while promoting a respect for disciplines and stressing versatility and diversity.
