“Art can warm a chilled and sunless soul… Through art we occasionally receive…..
revelations the likes of which cannot be achieved by rational thought.”
Alexander Solzhenitsyn, Russian novelist

"2012 Caravan Festival of the Arts"
"The Road Ahead”

45 renowned Middle Eastern and Western Artists

During the ten-day 2012 CARAVAN Festival of the Arts the visual art exhibition, curated for the fourth year in a row by participating artist Roland Prime, was open to the public. 45 premier Middle Eastern and Western visual artists came together for a selling exhibition held inside St. John’s Church, with each submitting one piece of work that reflected the theme, “The Road Ahead”. The visual art exhibition included a diverse range of noted Arab contemporary artists such as Reda Abdel Rahman and Mohamed Abla, to expatriate artists such as the well-known Norwegian artist Britt Boutros Ghali and renowned American sculptor Erik Blome.

Many Egyptians and expatriates attended and 20% of all art sales went to Egyptian charities serving the poor, both Muslims and Christians.
