This month, we have broken with our tradition of featuring the work of a specific artist to focus on the forthcoming inaugural edition of the ArtBahrain Fair taking place in Bahrain between 13 and 16 October 2015.
As Head of Development and in charge of the ArtBahrain Talks programme, I am proud to share my thoughts on the fair in the interview with Lisa Pollman below, as well as to be exhibiting a selection of works at the fair by Janet Rady Fine Art artists, Patrick Altes, Sabah Arbilli, Hanibal Srouji and Camille Zakharia.
We very much to see you at the fair and please contact us should you wish to receive an invitation.

Interview with Janet Rady -
Head of Development, AB
by art journalist and writer Lisa Pollman

| Patrick Altes, Fluid thoughts (detail), 2015, mixed media and collage on canvas, 80 x 120 cm INQUIRE |
Although Bahrain is well-known internationally as home of the Bahrain Grand Prix Formula 1 race and its capital city Manama was awarded the Arab Capital of Tourism in 2013, its contemporary art scene is just beginning to gain regional and international attention. How could the Fair potentially change the perception of contemporary art in Bahrain and its relevancy in the region?
"This is the first art fair ever to be held in Bahrain. It is a great opportunity for both international visitors and local residents to view a carefully selected range of works by established and emerging artists, with which they may not be familiar. Visitors will discover new talent and learn more about Bahraini artistic culture. Bahrain has for centuries been known as a hub for Arab art and by putting Bahrain on the contemporary art map, the fair will strengthen its unique profile in the region."
