Recent donations of works by Hanah Diab, Julienne Johnson and John Peters will make their debut in this exhibition. Adnan Charara’s energetic and immensely popular drawing, Open Minded, returns for a showing. And Helen Zughaib’s vivid Prayer Rug for America is back on display from the Museum’s 2005 inaugural temporary exhibition, In/Visible. DIWAN5 presenters John Halaka and Reem Gibriel are both represented in the exhibition.
By spotlighting stellar works from its collection, the AANM aims to foster the creation, display and collection of Arab American art in the national Arab American community and in the American art/entertainment mainstream. |

A Brand new painting at Calles y Suenos Gallery.
The Cuentos Foundation and La Casa De Arte y Cultura “Calles y Sueños” Gallery present: mosaic: diverse interpretations of artistic expression.
Using the Cuentos Foundation motto “Art giving voices to the stories of our diverse communities,” the show was organized to celebrate its 10 year anniversary. Participants of the show are artists, activists, and volunteers that have worked with Cuentos throughout its 10 years.
Like Cuentos itself, the artists and the art forms presented are diverse and give voices to the communities and cultures around the Chicago area, United States and the world. Artists from various Latin American, Israeli, Palestinian, Asian, European, and Anglo-American backgrounds come together to form a group show, where they could showcase their talents collectively. The show is comprised of a good mix of seasoned professional artists and new and emerging artists. Diverse art forms such as painting, video/filmmaking, puppetry, photography, fiber arts, sculpture, drawing, and installation will be on display for the month of October.

I am honored to be included in this new publication:
Encyclopedia of Arab American Artists
Artists of the American Mosaic
Fayeq S. Oweis
Publisher: Greenwood Publishing Group
ISBN: 0-313-33730-6 978-0-313-33730-7
Description: The rich history and culture of the Arab American people is found in the passionate works of its artists. Whether they be traditional media such as painting and calligraphy, or more sophisticated media such as digital work and installation, the pieces represent the beauty of heritage, the struggles of growing up in war-torn countries, the identity conflicts of female artists in male-dominated societies, and the issues surrounding migration to a Western culture very different from one's own.
Many of the artists included here, though their works appear in museums and galleries throughout the world, have never before been featured in a reference book. Interviews conducted by the author provide a personal look into the experiences and creative processes of these artists.
