PARTNER
ART OF CHANGE

Art of Change is located in Hamra, a culturally diverse district of Beirut, cofounded in May 2019 by Imane Assaf and Jason Camp. It is an urban art institute, a collaborative vibrant, artistic, and creative hub. Bringing more than fifteen years of combined experience in urban art festivals, street art, and urban contemporary art, we have implemented more than 50 murals ranging from 10m to 45m high, curated more than 250 street-level artworks, and delivered 6 large-scale murals. We manage and deliver many projects in public spaces. In the post-corona world, Art of Change created the first virtual and fully interactive street art gallery in Lebanon. Art of Change strives to spread awareness of urban art, transform the streets to open public galleries and restore the cultural aspects of the streets of Beirut. We have both a Lebanese and international array of artists that revived neglected areas to create an inspiring, positive and joyful environment. Our main strategy is to present artists with a diversity of services: curating art exhibitions, providing studio space for hire, producing fine art prints, offering art consulting and portfolio management, as well as managing art festivals and public art.
