General Information
The organization is composed of four core staff. These are the Director, Co-Director, Associate Architect and Site Coordinator. We have a core budget of $12,000 p.a. Programme costs are raised on a per project basis. Sources of funding are a mix of grant making bodies and private sponsorship and support. Our modalities of action are exchange residencies in the visual arts, in partnership with institutions outside of Lebanon, performances and events in partnership with local, national, and international organizations, workshops, and broad public programmes related to contemporary arts in all its forms.
Mission and Objectives

Through public events, exhibitions, film screenings, a library, residency and meeting spaces BP will support artists, scholars, film makers, and cultural producers by providing a platform to showcase innovative and significant work.
Each project undertaken by Batroun Projects intends to instigate new collaborations, building new networks and new relationships, both across disciplinary spheres, as well as locally, regionally, and internationally.

Main Projects / Activities

Our main projects are performances, screenings, workshops, talks, and residencies.
As the project space is located outside the city in a semi rural setting, our activities create a platform for commonality and exchange between residents and culture consumers in Beirut and those in the norther area around Batroun. We also aim to work with organizations and individuals regionally and internationally, inviting artists to perform and interact with Batroun Project audiences.

Why do you want to join the ALF Network?

Our aims and objectives are inline with the working modalities of the ALF, that is creating platforms for meaningful and sustainable exchange, and a place for dialogue that engenders new approaches to realities. We also aim to work across sectors, seeking out partnerships with NGO's, self organised civil society groups, as contemporary arts offers a platform where multifarious disciplines and approaches can work together.
