Resources in the
The following resources have been compiled to provide users with starting points in exploring the richness of the Arab cultural and artistic output. It is by no means a comprehensive listing of resources, but rather a sampling of websites that are informative, interesting and ultimately, only partially representative of the vast creativity and beauty of the artistic Arab world. While certainly many of these arts draw on centuries of artistic traditions, the focus here is predominantly on contemporary visual and performing art, with a special emphasis on Palestinian contributions.
