Talking about friends who've returned to Santa Cruz after spending time abroad: Naim came back from quite a long stint in Lebanon, only to leave again soon. Our favorite art dealer has outgrown the challenges of his profession and is hoping to create a legacy in form of a museum dedicated to Arab art. While his long term goal is to establish a museum in Lebanon that would house his originals, construction on his virtual museum is well on its way, allowing a good overview of his collection. Check out the Farhat Museum of Modern & Contemporary Arab Art online. (To the right you see Homes for the Disembodied (2000), an installation by North Carolina-based artist Mary Tuma.)
