Under the patronage of His Royal Highness Prince Salman bin Hamad Al Khalifa, the Crown Prince and Prime Minister, the 49th Bahrain Annual Fine Arts Exhibition will kick off today at Bahrain National Museum.
Organised by Bahrain Authority for Culture and Antiquities (BACA), the exhibition returns this year with a wide range of artistic participation by 55 Bahraini and expatriate artists.
They will showcase more than 100 artistic works ranging from paintings, sculptures, installation works, photography, video and other forms of artistic expression, which include various materials and techniques and belong to different international art schools.
The peculiarity of this year’s event lies in its commemoration of the distinguished Bahraini artist and sculptor Khalil Al Hashemi.
Part of the exhibition will be devoted to displaying a collection of his most important works and artistic creations. Al Hashemi designed the Al Dana Award statuette, which is a prize awarded every year to the first winner in the exhibition.
