Tiro
Tiro Association for Arts https://tiroarts.org/TAA aims to create independent cultural spaces in Lebanon through the provision of culture and arts-related trainings and activities, the rehabilitation of local cultural spaces, and the organization of festivals and events. Focusing mainly on Tyre and Nabatiyeh regions until now, the Association is a free platform for all, amateurs and artists, allowing them to present their artistic and cultural works. The Association's ambition is to contribute to shaping positively the cultural influence on all groups of the society, especially those that do not afford to spend part of their revenues on arts considered as luxurious spending.
