The Gallerist is a distinguished Lebanese gem, dedicated to the promotion and support of Middle Eastern art and artists. Specializing in showcasing unique works from both emerging and established talents, the gallery presents a dynamic range of collective exhibitions, featuring paintings, works on paper, photography, and sculpture.

Founded in 2003 in Dubai, UAE, The Gallerist was led by its visionary director, Alia Matar Hilal, who played a pivotal role in bringing contemporary and modern Middle Eastern art to a global audience. In 2008, this journey evolved with the opening of The Gallerist artspace in Beirut, which has since become a cornerstone of the MENA region’s ever-evolving art scene.

Through its thoughtfully curated exhibitions, The Gallerist continues to be a reference point for both collectors and art enthusiasts, serving as a vital platform for artistic dialogue and cultural exchange across the region and beyond.
