The University of Bahrain features a number of halls and exhibition spaces that are dedicated to host concerts, contemporary art exhibitions and to showcase artifacts. The university organizes an annual National Day celebration, which is free and open to the public, in December and hosts Bahraini artists and traditional bands and music. The university also hosts an annual event during the Holy month of Ramadan which also hosts traditional displays. The aim is, on the one hand, to enhance and raise awareness of cultural heritage, and on the other hand, to bring together artists and galleries from across the world.
