The fourth edition of the Artoday visual arts forum, held at the Grand Egyptian Museum, witnessed the honoring of Silver Screen as a strategic partner and media sponsor for the second consecutive year, in the presence of ministers, ambassadors, prominent artists, and public figures.

The award was presented by Sherine Badr, founder of the forum, and Ahmed Ghoneim.

He added that hosting the forum at the Grand Egyptian Museum carries strong cultural significance, reflecting the historic role of women in Egyptian civilization, while highlighting art as a powerful tool for raising awareness and addressing societal challenges.

The forum brings together more than 200 female artists from around 30 countries, reinforcing its position as a global platform for supporting women’s creativity and transforming it into sustainable economic opportunities.

The event also honored leading figures in visual arts, most notably Gazbia Sirry, guest of honor for this edition.
