Why “Cedar Art & Culture (ACAC)”

The cedar is an enduring symbol of Lebanon — strength, resilience, rootedness, and natural beauty. By embracing “Cedar” in our name, we affirm our commitment to nurturing a cultural ecosystem that is both deeply Lebanese and outward-looking. “Culture” reflects our belief that art is not just an aesthetic endeavor but a dynamic force within society — shaping values, identities, and futures.

At ACAC, we believe in the transformative power of art and culture as vehicles for social connection, identity-building, and community resilience. Our mission is to provide artists, creators, and cultural actors with a supportive, inclusive space — where inspiration meets collaboration. Through exhibitions, workshops, performances, and educational programs, we aim to uplift local voices, bridge communities, and offer meaningful cultural experiences to the public.

We envision a Lebanon where art and culture are catalysts for dialogue, social cohesion, and sustainable development. Culturally active neighborhoods, empowered youth, cross-disciplinary collaborations, and heritage reimagined for contemporary life are central to our future. We aspire to be a beacon of creativity and cultural renewal, rooted in respect for our history and openness to global exchange.
