Social responsibility runs deep within the Saradar family
Beyond business concerns, the Saradar brand is associated to numerous social projects that aim to give back to the communities that the group serves.
Fondation Saradar
Fondation Saradar is a non-profit organization whose mission is to promote the social welfare of Lebanese citizens. Throughout the years, we have expanded our field of action to encompass education, arts, culture and sports.
In an effort to overcome the severe economic crisis, we have launched the Food Security Program and the Beirut Relief Program. More recently we have launched the Young Talent Program - an initiative focused on providing young athletes access to professional coaching and financial support – and the Residency Program – a place where emerging artists can research or create without there being any obligation of result.
Contributing to the sustainable human development of the Lebanese community and talents will always be our core driving principle.
Looking to the future, Fondation Saradar aims to remain agile and adaptive to societal change.
Saradar Collection
Saradar Collection is an initiative built around a private collection with a public mission to preserve, study and share modern and contemporary art from Lebanon.
Continuously expanding, the collection contains more than 300 works of art by over 50 artists dating from 1917 until today. Encompassing both traditional and new media, the collection includes works on paper, painting, photography, video, installation and sculpture.
In addition to making the collection available to the public through the website and exhibition loan program, the collection is also the starting point for programming and research.
The collection is accessible to the public through an extensive exhibition loan program and via the website.
The collection archive continues to expand with the addition of previously published texts, commissioning essays and videos, comprehensive book publications and organized events to form an exceptional depository of art and cultural pieces for Lebanon.
