Tiro Association for Arts

Tiro Association for Arts (TAA) was established in 2014 as a non-governmental organization located in Tyre, South Lebanon, registered under No. 2633. The Association works on encouraging the Southern local communities to further engage in arts and culture, outside of the existing political and religious settings. More specifically, TAA was founded upon the belief that these communities can express themselves through art, not only to reflect their identity but also to showcase through art the problems and the challenges of their respective communities and those of the Lebanese society at large. Presently, TAA is a volunteer-based organization that brings together youth of different social, cultural, religious, and ethnic backgrounds to create an alternative movement of social change through arts
and culture.TAA implements artistic training courses including theater and scriptwriting training workshops, handicrafts workshop includes topics regarding the accessories industry 10 , drawing and coloring on wood and pottery, drawing and coloring on glass, the soap industry and therapeutic soap industry 11 , mosaic, drawing and coloring and using the home oven, drawing and coloring on fabrics, and drawing and coloring on old glow-lights. Also we have the Fine Arts workshop which is a series of purposeful educational and social artistic activities 13 that include a puppet show, kinetic and intellectual games, life skills, storytelling, fine arts, and handicrafts.
