Marfa’ Projects works with local and regional artists to produce and present idea-based projects that engage with Beirut’s diverse contemporary art scene.
Founded by Joumana Asseily in 2015 it builds on her deep links with the city’s independent non-profit art scene. The gallery is located in two garages near the customs house in the Marfa’ neighborhood, which means port in Arabic.
Its mission is to support local artists, helping them to build links globally through participation in major art fairs and collaborations with fellow galleries and institutions, as well as providing a platform in Beirut for the work of international artists.
