Iraqi Artists Aid Program:
Prior to the period of the Gulf War and subsequent economic sanctions, Iraq had one of the best performing Arts programs in
the region. Iraq’s Art institutes are in a dramatic situation, some 24 years of conflict and unrest - first with Iran in the 1980s and
then with the Gulf wars and the situation that has followed - have seen hundreds of Iraqi artists killed, the exodus of many
intellectuals and the virtual isolation of those who remained. Iraqi artists who are unable to flee the country are now in a queue
waiting for their turn to die.
Most Iraqi artists whether refugees in the Middle East or within Iraq are in a very dreadful situation, with no jobs and no financial
support to secure their daily life needs.
This program support s Iraqi artist refugees residing in Syria, Lebanon, and Jordan with their basic needs of health care and
daily life requirements. Further, under this program RASIT is working closely with professionals and International Art Institutes
to promote the Iraqi artists and their remarkable work.

pursue their career and improve their skills. Further, This program continues to encourage Arts education and training for
female students in developing countries.

Globalization weakened and diluted traditional arts and cultures. Working with a wide range of partners, RASIT venture and
aims to preserve and document heritage arts and cultures through seminars, exhibitions, concerts etc.
