Galerie Janine Rubeiz

Galerie Janine Rubeiz is based in Beirut and has been promoting Lebanese contemporary artists since 1967. Anchored in a strong commitment to modern and contemporary art in Lebanon, the Galerie Janine Rubeiz takes its roots in the precious legacy of “Dar el Fan”, a highly qualified art space and cultural platform under the direction of Janine Rubeiz between 1967 and 1976. Her effort was both cultural and political, for she believed that cultural and artistic activities foster communication among communities, offer enrichment through diversity, combat all forms of discrimination, stop hatred and war, and cultivate peace. But “Dar el Fan’s” premises were destroyed during the war and Janine moved her activities and set up her own apartment into a gallery that hosted cultural and artistic events, until her death in 1992.

The Galerie strives to make Lebanese contemporary modern art known in Lebanon and abroad. It hosts the works of internationally recognized artists, and participates with its artists in a number of regional and international fairs.
