Lebanese artist Maher Attar says he wants to convey a message of hope to view?ers through a photo exhibition he organized in Beirut,the Lebanese capital.

The four?week exhibition began on

August 9. The event is uplifting for the ar?tistic community in Lebanon, which has been suffering from a serious economic cri?sis that has forced many artists to leave the country.

By exhibiting 31 artistic works from 10 different artists at the Art District House of Photography in eastern Beirut, the exhibi?tion represents Attar's efforts to support young Lebanese artists in showing their abilities and pursuing their artistic goals during times of difficulty.“I believe in young people's potential and in the diver?sity of art and photography, and I also en?joy sharing my experience and success with the younger generation,”he said.

The Lebanese artist, now in his 50s,started his career as a war photographer during the Lebanese Civil War.

Participants in the exhibition are ex?cited to display their works among Attar's wide network of artists, associates, and art enthusiasts in Lebanon. The youngest art?ist in the exhibition, Cindy Abdo, said the event offered a good chance to meet and talk with professional photographers and increased the visibility (可見性) of her ar?tistic works.“Being the youngest photogra?pher in the room and being the first to sell gave me a lot of motivation for the future,”said the 21?year?old.

Tarek Saab, an artist in his 40s, said he was excited to send his photos to the ex?hibition.“People were asking for my pho?tos. I was surprised to see people showing big interest in my works,”said Saab.
