Our vision is a thriving community where:

  • Art transcends borders, connecting local and global voices.

  • History lives through creative practice, resisting erasure.

  • Innovation meets tradition, reimagining heritage with modern tools.

  • Healing and resilience flourish through artistic expression.

  • Leaders emerge, guided by ethics, excellence, and cultural pride.

We believe in art’s power to transform—not just canvas, stage, or page—but minds, societies, and the world.

Join us in building this future.

The mission of the Academy is to preserve and exemplify collective memory and history through interdisciplinary education and creative activities. The Academy offers a comprehensive educational platform that explores the historical, cultural, and artistic narratives of the Middle Eastern, Arab, and Muslim worlds from an American perspective. Through artistic mediums, the Academy aims to develop a new generation of artists equipped to engage with contemporary debates and methodologies of artistic practice, at both local and international levels.

Artists are innovators.
