Curatorial Ethos
The gallery functions as a pioneering platform showcasing a broad spectrum of regional art, from established figures to emerging talents, while maintaining a permanent collection that surveys the transformation of Middle Eastern artistic practices. It aims to be an open space for critical debate and cultural dialogue, highlighting the role of Arab art through exhibitions, publications, and international fair participation.
Saleh Barakat Gallery is a leading commercial gallery in Beirut, Lebanon, established in 2016 to commemorate the 25th anniversary of its predecessor, Agial Art Gallery (founded in 1990). Located in the former Cinema Clemenceau, the venue serves as a platform for modern and contemporary Arab art, representing artists across different generations and active in both primary and secondary markets. The gallery also hosts The Upper Gallery on its ground floor, which focuses on experimental projects and overlooked practices.
