The Sultan Bin Ali AL Owais Cultural Foundation has aimed at widening the scope of its virtual cultural events, to include not only webinars but also online plastic art exhibitions featuring art from different genres, forms and trends. It is worth mentioning that over the years, the exhibition hall of the Sultan Bin Ali Al Owais Cultural Foundation has hosted numerous exhibitions by many leading artists, who –in this prestigious venue- have had the chance to display their works and discuss them with the audience and with other fellow artists.

And in light of the current digital age, and the unprecedented pace of change in technology, the Sultan Bin Ali Al Owais Cultural Foundation is leaving its mark on the Arab cultural scene as it launches its online platform for virtual art exhibitions. Through the amazing artworks it features, the platform aims at delivering to its audience the passion that used to fill the corners of real-life exhibitions; and carry them forth to a wider virtual world. This initiative stresses that art triumphs even in the time of pandemics, and culture has the ability to grow and flourish even via digital platforms, which are all created for the good of mankind.
