Mission Statement
Prompted by its strong belief in the importance of art as a basic component of a nation's culture, the Sector of Fine Arts unleashes its artistic and cultural activities to give rise to the artist's inspirational sources of creativity in art movement. As a result, the artist can fully be integrated into society. Further, to widen the process of creativity the Sector of Fine Arts makes cultural sites available across the country to push forward the wheel of cultural development. Throughout its history, the Sector of Fine Arts has witnessed several development phases. It first acted as a Supervision of Fine Arts, a department affiliate to the Ministry of Maaref (education). When the Ministry of Culture was established in 1958 it supervised fine arts by opening the General Department of Fine Arts under the chairmanship of artist Salah Taher.
