Al Mada is an Arts Based Community Development Association which is based in Ramallah, Palestine. Founded in 2009, Al Mada uses the arts to promote education, self-expression, empowerment, and well-being.

Our work is grounded in the belief that the arts provide a space and platform where individuals can express, create and heal. We strive to promote music and the arts as powerful tools that individuals and groups can use to advocate for their concerns and rights.

Our programs encompass a variety of artistic media (music, dance, drama and visual arts) and, in cooperation with respective organizations, reach a wide range of groups in the community. We view the arts as a key factor to the sustained development of our community by empowering individuals and groups through artistic creative processes.
