After the success of the first edition last year, Zawyeh Gallery launches 6 December 2021 the second edition of Ramallah Art Fair. This year the show is organised with wider participation amongst artists. The art fair includes over 150 artworks; some were created recently or produced specifically for the fair by over 30 Palestinian artists living in Palestine and the diaspora in addition to artists from the occupied Syrian Golan, an artist from Lebanon, and a Turkish artist. The artworks deal with different topics; some are stemmed from the Palestinian reality using a wide range of materials. One of the main features that the fair maintains this year is exhibiting the works of young artists, side by side works for prominent artists.

Ziad Anani, Zawyeh Gallery director, stated: “The main goal of the event is to provide original artworks at reasonable prices for new collectors to enjoy Palestinian art.” He added that the art fair is a rare opportunity that gives glimpses on the new art production mainly in Palestine and allows the audience to read into the new artistic paths and directions that new and prominent artists are embarking on these days.
