What is Jubilee Arts?

Jubilee Arts is a Diamond Jubilee International Programme that aims to celebrate the Jamat’s vast artistic skills and cultural traditions, as well as deepening appreciation for the arts. The programme provides opportunities for aspiring Ismaili artists and their non-Ismaili spouses and children of all ages from around the world, to showcase and further develop their talents both during and beyond the Diamond Jubilee year. The Jubilee Arts programme is inspired by the guidance and work of the Imamat over generations.

What is the International Arts Festival?

Over the past few months, thousands of artists from around the world have participated in regional and national arts festivals as part of Jubilee Arts, a Diamond Jubilee international programme celebrating a wide range of artistic disciplines including dance, film, musical performance, visual arts, poetry, graphic design, and more.

These celebrations will culminate in the inaugural International Arts Festival, to take place in Lisbon, Portugal from 06-09 July, 2018. The Festival will be one of the central programmes taking place during the Diamond Jubilee Celebration - Lisboa, marking the conclusion of Mawlana Hazar Imam’s Diamond Jubilee year.

During the historic four‐day, multidisciplinary arts festival, artists, patrons, and volunteers will celebrate the best artistic talent from across the global Ismaili community. The International Arts Festival is a unique opportunity for the Jamat to experience our rich cultural traditions and plurality through three anchor events: The International Talent Showcase, The International Art Gallery, The International Film Festival.
