ABOUT US
Art on 56th Gallery is a Beirut-based contemporary art gallery founded in 2011 and rooted in the historic district of Gemmayzeh. Since its establishment, the gallery has developed a regional and international presence, representing emerging and established artists from Lebanon, the Middle East, and beyond, with works held in major museums, foundations, and private collections.
The gallery is committed to expanding the international visibility of regional artistic practices while fostering meaningful cross-cultural exchange. Gender balance has been central to its vision since its founding, with a commitment to equal representation of women and men across its artistic program.
Deeply connected to Beirut and its evolving creative landscape, Art on 56th engages with its local community through exhibitions, educational initiatives, and collaborations with schools and younger audiences, encouraging greater access to and engagement with contemporary art.
Following the Beirut Port explosion, the gallery contributed to preserving its space and supporting the continuity of the surrounding artistic community. Today, Art on 56th remains firmly rooted in Beirut while continuing to develop an ambitious program of exhibitions, collaborations, and international participation.
