GALLERIST
Noha Wadi Moharram is a Beirut based gallerist and art advisor with a focus on contemporary art. In 2011, she founded Art on 56th and opened her independent visual arts gallery in 2012 in Beirut, rooted in Gemmayzeh, the Lebanese capital’s booming artistic and cultural neighborhood. Her priority is to present and support emerging contemporary artists. She also represents a roster of local artists to an international audience, focusing on promoting both established and emerging contemporary artists from Lebanon, the Middle-East, and beyond. Her mission in opening a gallery is to educate and inspire people, especially the younger generation, advocating the instructive and healing powers of art.
She believes that art can profoundly move people, by challenging their senses and changing their ability to perceive their scope and nature.
Noha has worked relentlessly with schools, engaging with students and making sure they are exposed to art, to stimulate their creativity, passion and independent thinking.
