ABOUT
In light of the siege that the Gaza Strip suffers from and the consequent interruption of face-to-face communication with the outside world, and the interruption of the cultural and artistic side’s access to the other side, from here the idea came to launch a commercial and cultural website on the Internet that revolves around the artistic cultural aspect in the Gaza Strip, It includes a number of artists in several fields to spread their talents such as drawing, photography, fashion design and embroideries to sell their paintings and works and spreads culture outside the country and Due to the limited local exhibitions in the Gaza Strip and the institutions that support the artistic cultural aspect due to many factors, the most important of which is the recent siege on the Gaza Strip and the limited artistic awareness of the groups of society as a whole. And because art today is one of the most powerful peaceful weapons that are used to spread cultures between countries, which Gaza lacks despite the need, we 8 had to work in a site that collects local artworks and presents them to other communities in the process of displaying Palestinian art well and stabilizing and unifying Palestinian artworks with all Its forms and times and will Facilitate linking people with limited talents in the artistic field with external institutions to support them and embrace them with job opportunities and their participation in external exhibitions and help them sell their paintings and artworks of various forms and times outside the country
