Today

Art Aia - Creatives / In / Residence[10] currently promotes cultural and artistic activities at a local and international level[11]. In the past few years several teaching artists have been collaborating with the venue like American Master Drama Teacher John Strasberg, son of Lee Strasberg, who held two International acting workshops[12] as well as Italo-Palestinian artist Mustafa Sabbagh[13] who taught a photography masterclass[14] in 2014. Several artist collectives have also been hosted in the center like Marsala 11[15] and the Institut für Alles Mögliche of Berlin[16] among others.

The fact that people come to a place, where everyone makes that commitment, and they are in the country just changes the atmosphere of work so there is a kind of relaxation and comaradery that is very special. It is a special place.
