Johnny R.Saade Holdings sponsors the first international Fair for Contemporary Art MENASART edition 2010

Johnny R. Saade Holdings sponsors the first edition of MENASART- the international Fair for Contemporary Art dedicated to the Middle East, North Africa and South Asia.

This event took place at the Beirut BIEL Pavillon Royal (Lebanon) on July 13th and 14th, 2010 under the patronage of H.E. Prime Minister Saad Hariri and was attended by both art amateurs and connoisseurs.

MENASART FAIR is a boutique-style exclusive commercial fair that has gathered galleries and artists from the MENASA region. It seems only natural for Johnny R. Saade Holdings to support cultural initiatives such as the MENASART Fair, among others, that aim to uphold Beirut’s role as a center for Art in the Middle-East. Quality, the group’s guiding principle, is in many ways a form of Art as it allows members of the corporate world to actively and practically contribute to this field.

On a personal note, the Saade Family is also directly involved through the Johnny R. Saade Art Collection which includes French and Middle-eastern paintings.

Johnny R. Saade Holdings operates, through its subsidiaries, in three different sectors of activities across the Middle-East region, with a clear commitment towards quality. In the field of tourism, Wild Discovery is the biggest network of travel and Tourism agencies in Lebanon, and has additional branches in Syria and the UAE (Dubai). This leading tour operator offers both inbound and outbound products with one of the widest range of travel packages available today in the market. In real estate, Greenstone Real Estate Developers is currently developing three high-end residential projects in Beirut and its upscale suburbs: L’Armonial (Beirut), La Broceliande (Yarze), and Orientalys (Adma). In winemaking, the newly launched Chateau Marsyas (from the Bekaa Valley of Lebanon) and Domaine de Bargylus (from the Lattakia region of Syria) labels are attracting the attention of some of the world’s premier wine connoisseurs. Domaine de Bargylus is the first premium wine to be produced in Syria according to international standards
