The Underline Project aims to create a network of artists and creatives around the Mediterranean to support residency initiatives. 

These initiatives will allow artists to share and experience new cultures, artistic approaches, and opportunities to collaborate on an international scale.  

The team will work with Lebanese and international artists to create a series of workshops and educational classes that will encourage and develop core artistic skills. This will, in turn, expose the artists and communities to different cultures, styles, and techniques of artistic expression. In addition to the creation and establishment of an artistic hub, the artists in collaboration with their Lebanese counterparts will plan and execute several artistic murals and smaller-scale interventions to engage, inspire, and motivate artistic interests at the individual and community level. This will further promote Arts as an alternative economy to explore in Lebanon. 

The target audience are the neglected and underprivileged communities, those with aspirations of an artistic capacity.
