A collection of exhibition materials, including brochures, catalogs, and invitations, pertaining to exhibitions at Atassi Gallery in Damascus, Syria, between 1993 and 2010.
Established in 1986, the Atassi Gallery holds the distinction of being the first privately owned art gallery in Homs. Originally founded by the sisters Mouna and Mayla Atassi, the gallery initially operated in the attic of their bookstore before relocating to a more spacious area within the same building, which they transformed into a more suitable gallery space. Over the years, the gallery has been the venue for exhibitions featuring some of Syria's most prominent artists. Shortly after its inception, the gallery quickly evolved into a central hub within the Syrian art community, fostering vibrant interactions, discussions, and experimental collaborations among intellectuals, writers, filmmakers, and artists.
