Launched on the occasion of our 30th anniversary, with a regional scope, the 2019 Summer Academy is an intensive four week program at Darat al Funun combining art practices and theory for artists of all experience levels to enhance their skills, through a series of intensive courses provided by artists, curators, and academics.
