As part of the "Alfa 4-life" CSR Program, Alfa, managed by Orascom Telecom, in collaboration with the Lebanese Autism Society (LAS), organized an exhibition for autistic artist Ali Tlais o entitled "Promenade dans un Verger" or "A Walk in The Orchard" and took place in the Biel Art Fair in downtown Beirut from September 19 until 22, 2013.
"Promenade dans un Verger" consists of 13 paintings that form a scenography representing a wonderful scenery of nature and trees as painted by Ali Tlais, and follows his successful third exhibition,
"Enchanting Autism Forest," which was held last July.
Ali Tlais exhibited his paintings for the 2nd consecutive year in the Biel Art Fair , which showcases annually the paintings of the greatest artists around the world. His exhibition last year earned huge success welcoming around 4000 visitors.
"Promenade dans un Verger" was attended by social figures, art specialists, and media figures, who praised Ali's artistic evolution and skills that exceed all expectations during each of his exhibitions.
Alfa Chairman and CEO Marwan Hayek, expressed his "pride at seeing Ali's success, which confirms once more that our support as individuals, companies, and private sector to autistic people enables them to communicate, be creative, and display exceptional abilities. It also opens to them doors and opportunities to be productive individuals in society."
All proceeds of this exhibit will go to Ali and the LAS.
