General Information
The BA aims to revive the role of the Ancient Library of Alexandria in encouraging dialogue and exchange between scientists, philosophers and artists alike. The Arts Center provides a forum to various expressions of arts in all its forms, and seeks to realize the goals of the BA in being Egypt’s window on the world and the world’s window on Egypt in the artistic field.
Beside promoting the artistic capacities of artists from Egypt and the Arab world, the Arts Center seeks to be an incubator for the talents of children and young people, and provides training and development opportunities for them in world-class international institutions.
