Nip-N-Ink, Bahrain’s unique cultural art agency, will be leading the promotion of Arabic calligraphy at the gulfInteriors exhibition taking place at the Bahrain International Exhibition Centre from May 12 to 14.

Nip-N-Ink is an agency established by artist Aziz Qassim, a leading exponent of modern Arabic calligraphic designs. He will share his knowledge and skill with visitors to gulfInteriors exhibition with live displays and designs.
 
“The art of Arabic calligraphy has played a major role in Bahrain’s heritage and culture throughout our kingdom’s history. It is vital that we keep alive the tradition of calligraphy to pass on to future generations,” said Qassim.

Nip-N-Ink specialises in Arabic calligraphy as a medium of art, expression and education through a range of services in graphic design, classical compositions, murals, fabric painting, cuttings and engravings on wood, acrylic and glass. The company also offers classes in the art of Arabic calligraphy.

“ The use of calligraphy in Arab culture is the foundation of symmetry and harmony in society,” added Qassim. “Our approach is not commercial but rather committed to the preservation of the soul of our religion and culture."

“gulfInteriors is not just about the promotion of international designer brands but also delivering a showcase to  promote a unique style and creativity that is present in Bahrain and the Gulf," said Jubran Abdulrahman, managing director of Hilal Conferences and Exhibition, organiser of the event.

“As well as the promotion of Arabic calligraphy, gulf Interiors will also showcase 'Moroccan Treasures' and boutique furniture designed and made in Bahrain," he said.
 
Qassim is scheduled to present a workshop titled “Introduction to Calligraphy”, which is free to attend for visitors to the gulf Interiors exhibition on May 13 at 6:30 pm.
