I had such a nice visit at Al Riwaq the other week. In addition to Melissa’s party, I chatted with Aaron the Canadian chef, looked at the exhibit and bought some jewelry in the gift shop. After months of staying away from Adliya I was surprised by the number of activities planned.
Currently Jabbar Al Ghadban’s The Studio is on exhibit. Jabbar is the founder of Ishtar Graphics. Born in Bahrain, Jabbar studied art in Syria. In 1989 he opened his studio next to the Bahrain Arts Society and has participated in many exhibits throughout Europe, the Middle East and China.
Al Riwaq Gallery has brought his studio into the public realm this November. The exhibit is ending in two days on November 30th so there is only a little time left.
Al Riwaq is located in Adliya’s renamed 338 district. The Bahrain Arts Society is located at the Burgerland Roundabout next to Lanterns Restaurant.
