Online gallery gives Beirut's diverse art scene exposure to world
As Syrian artists fleeing the civil war have found an arts haven in Beirut, some of them are gaining exposure to the wider world through the Artscoops website.
BEIRUT — Many Syrian artists, musicians and creatives have made Beirut their home since the outbreak of the uprising and ensuing civil war in Syria in 2011.
Artscoops, an arts platform originally set up by mother-and-daughter team May and Raya Mamarbachi in 2014, now aims to share Beirut’s artistic richness with the world.
