Preparations are underway for the opening of the exhibition that will present the works that Egyptian and European contemporary artists produced in October 2014 working hand in hand with Egyptian craftsmen in their workshops in traditional neighbourhoods of Cairo. The KEEPitREAL! project, conceived and carried out by ARCHiNOS Architecture, is part of the European Union’s cultural initiative.

Join us on 1 February 2915 at 6:00 PM at the Bayt al-Sinnari Centre for Arts, Science, and Culture in Sayida Zeinab to meet the artists presenting their work. If you are not in Cairo, follow the project on Facebook and Tweeter, and watch our news for the link to the upcoming website. [ www.artsmeetcrafts.com ]
