NewcastleGateshead Art Fair 2011
Visit Arts Canteen @ Stand C37 -  a striking exhibition by a group of Palestinian artists from Gaza on the themes of resilience and light.  The exhibition will be at Arts Canteen’s stand from Friday 30 September until Sunday 2 October, where all works will be for sale. All three artists are young emerging talents and demonstrate the strength and resilience of the human spirit in responding to the darkness of conflict.  Shareef Sarhan and Raed Issa contemplate the mundane and find colour, light and a glimpse of the Mediterranean. Mohammed Abusal meditates on light itself, using the traditional Palestinian symbol of resilience in the face of adversity, the cactus. http://bdaily.info/news/arts-and-culture/26-08-2011/art-fair-brings-the-light-of-the-middle-east/

Wonderful music, magical venue
Arts Canteen was delighted to host the fantastic musicians of Hijaz at the beautiful Union Chapel on Saturday 28 May. Hijaz responded wonderfully to the Union Chapel acoustic and their new fans. Friends and jazz lovers had a great night! “Hijaz further deepens the dialogue … between east and west, between emotion and reason, between theme and improvisation. The title of the CD means sun, and perfectly reflects what makes these musicians tick – creating beauty and warmth. “ http://worldmusic.co.uk/hijaz_at_union_chapel_london
