The University of Oregon Arab Student Union, in partnership with the JSMA, invites you to the Arab Art Gallery.  In this exhibition, we aim to positively (or introspectively) reflect on the different Arab cultures via the artistic and creative works of Arabic-speaking students here and abroad. In addition, we will also take you on a voyage of discovery into the artistic foundation and scaling of Arabic music which will be showcased via samples of Arabic musical scales as well as a full-fledged concert of traditional Arabic music on Saturday.

The Arab Art Gallery will display Arab students’ art work, the Arabic music tones, Maqamat, the Calligraphy, and a fashion show of different traditional clothes from the Arab world.  On Saturday, January 17 from 5 to 7 pm there will be a live Arabic music concert by a local band, Americanistan, and Arabic food will be served.
