Abstract

This chapter reflects on contemporary arts education in Egypt, Lebanon and Saudi Arabia, revealed through the personal narratives of three arts educators working in the region. Artistic education in the Middle East and Arabian Peninsula takes many forms, echoing the cultural reality of these diverse and dynamic societies. Through the authors’ unique experiences the nuances of pedagogy, policy and practice in arts education in the region are revealed. These experiences describe specific arts education contexts in the region, and how regional politics and social issues impact on the perceptions and practices of arts education. It is intended that this chapter broadens knowledge and understandings of arts education in Egypt, Lebanon and Saudi Arabia, and contributes to the global conversation regarding the importance of arts education.
