Liverpool Arab Arts Festival works throughout the year, with a wide range of events and participatory projects that bring together artists and diverse communities.
From Liverpool to the Arab world, LAAF builds connections that help more people to encounter and experience Arab culture in Liverpool and beyond.
Each year, we hold a ten day festival. Bringing together international artists, UK artists, local communities and more, this is the UK’s premier Arab arts festival. First held in 2002, it is one of the major artistic and cultural events in Liverpool’s calendar, attracting visitors locally, regionally and internationally.

Throughout the year we run a Cultural Education Programme, working with Arab artists to deliver workshops in Primary and Secondary schools in the Liverpool City Region. Supported by Qatar Foundation International.
