Flair Magazine Since the launch of the Grand Nile Arts Center in February 2018, the hotel has become a hotspot of contemporary, modern and fine arts, featuring up-and-coming young talent and independent artists every Friday.
As a cultural platform for both established and aspiring artists, the Grand Nile Arts Center has featured sold-out performances from Yousra El Hawary and Dokkan, as well as the Noha Fekry Quartet, Cairo Big Band Society, Estabena & the Gypsy Jazz Project, and Hazem Shaheen & Rami Attallah. The performances and artists were selected and coordinated by Room Art Space.
“Supporting Egypt’s vibrant arts and culture scene is crucial to the development of our entertainment and tourism industries,” said Javier Sanchez, General Manager of Grand Nile Tower. “The more opportunities we provide for our local artists, the more they will thrive as performers, showcasing the immense talent our society has to offer the arts and culture scene locally, regionally and internationally.” While the program is still in the pilot phase, in April and May the Grand Nile Arts Center is planning to expand to include a Jazz night in addition to the Friday performances.
The Grand Nile Arts Center was launched in 2018 as part of the hotel’s corporate social responsibility initiatives, offering independent artists and young talent the opportunity to perform in a reputable venue. Hisham Gabr, conductor at the Cairo Opera House, and previous Director of the Bibliotheca Alexandria Arts Center, has served as a consultant on the project, alongside the Center’s partner Room Art Space, which aims to promote the multi-layered complexity of Egyptian culture of music and arts. This shared vision has helped Grand Nile Tower become a go-to venue for arts and cultural events.
