Dara Art Gallery- Travel Tips

What to See, How to Plan & Tours

Dara Art Gallery, founded in late 1999 by Sudanese artists Rashid Diab and Mercedes Carmona, began as a space for local artists to showcase their work professionally. Located in Khartoum, it has featured prominent Sudanese artists like Ibrahim Al-Salahi, Yassir Abu-El-Haram, and Hussein Gamaan. The gallery initially offered painting courses, and some works created through these classes have been displayed. After 2005, it became Rashid Diab's private gallery, focusing on his artwork from the 1980s to the present. In 2020, the gallery came under new management, with plans to feature works from more artists. Recent efforts have included cataloging and restoring Diab's earlier works, many of which are now on display.
