Sep.,
1999 "Darat al Funun Summer Academy"
From Darat Al Funun Summer 99 brochure
With
the participation of 16 young artists from Jordan , Palestine,
Syria, and Lebanon, the first year of Darat Al Funun Summer
Academy which lasted for four weeks was launched . At the
end the participants' works were exhibited and certificates
were handed out to them in a celebration held on the occasion.
The Academy's concept coincided with the Abdul Hameed Shoman
Foundation's 10th year anniversary of supporting arts. It
was headed by the Berlin based Syrian artist Marwan Kassab
Bashi professor at the Academy of fine Arts (HDK) of Berlin,
where he also donated a complete exhibition of the gist of
his art to the children of Palestine for permanent residence
there.
Several discussions were held in inspiring atmosphere of Darat
Al Funun between Marwan and the young artists where they were
exposed to new ideas and trends prevailing in the world of
art today. This establishment of the Summer Academy is a continuation
of Darat Al Funun's own message in promoting knowledge, art
and aesthetics. s.
