In its endeavor to build bridges of communication between world cultures, the Al-Mansouria Foundation for Culture and Creativity purchased a studio at the Cité Internationale des Arts in July 2001. Situated in the oldest part of Paris near the Seine and the historically significant Ile St Louis, the Cité is one of the world’s great centers of artistic creation. Conceived by Felix Bruno, the Cité Internationale des Arts has played an active role nurturing the arts. Providing a way for artists of widely divergent origins and aesthetics to gather and share ideas and expertise, the Cité actively supports the propagation of new artistic forms and means of expression.
The Foundation believes that cultural and artistic exchange is the ideal means to expand an artist’s vision and deepen his or her capacities, and thus makes the Al-Mansouria studio available to resident artists who are offered a unique opportunity live and work in a community unified by the creation of art. Participants are exposed to the cultural wealth of Paris, as well as the knowledge and experience of their fellow residents in this vibrant and ever-changing artistic community.
