Ayyam Gallery

Since its founding in 2006, Ayyam Gallery has become one of the Arab world's leading art spaces. With a selection of cutting-edge painting, sculpture and photography that represents some of the Middle East's most exciting talent, the gallery has sought to promote the region's dynamic cultural scene at home and abroad. Its continued commitment to the expansion and progression of local art has led to a number of landmark initiatives, including blockbuster exhibitions, original publications and special events. Ayyam's founding location in Damascus has revitalized contemporary Syrian art by providing artists and collectors with a blue-chip gallery that is thoroughly involved with local developments and remains abreast of international trends. Through its worldwide efforts, the gallery has single-handedly raised awareness of Syrian art, establishing a significant presence in the global art market while garnering outstanding recognition for its artists. The square foot Damascus space has also been a meeting place for regional art, as it has brought a number of established and emerging artists from outside Syria to engage with Damascene audiences. The gallery also has locations in Beirut, Cairo and Dubai.
