In this essay, Mohammad Omran sheds light on the paths of art education in Syria. He explores the efforts of artists in forming supportive structures for art education prior to the founding of the Faculty of Fine Arts in Damascus in 1963.

We are excited to announce the launch of the Modern Art of Syria Archive (MASA) project, which we hope, will provide a much-needed, internationally accessible, free, online archive of Syrian art.

The art collection of the Atassi Foundation is one of the most comprehesive collections، primarily dedicated to Syrian art.  It covers early 20th century modern art until present day contemporary works.
