Art Sawa Dubai

In 2008, the Art Sawa project began to find its roots in Dubai’s multi-cultural dynamism. Amidst the skyline of this incredible city it was still difficult to find Art, and yet she felt that there was a longing for art and culture that remained unmet. Filled with a passion for art and the promotion of talent, and despite difficult odds Amel B.Makkawi ,owner and director , set out to create an Art platform that would provide artists from the region with a space where they could present their work, a space of sufficient size and quality to create its own dynamic.

Art Sawa embodies all of Amel’s aspirations for art in this part of the world; it is the largest addition to Dubai’s bustling art scene. It is a distinctive art platform dedicated to the awareness and promotion of contemporary art from the Middle East, North Africa and neighbouring countries.

Art Sawa realises its mission through hosting a series of innovative exhibitions, educational programs and publications reflecting current issues and practices. Offering 12,000 sq ft of state-of-the-art space, Art Sawa fosters interaction between art and the public across a wide range of media. Art Sawa is dedicated to promoting world-class contemporary art to a global and regional audience.

Nestled within the vibrancy and industry of the Al Quoz district in Dubai, stands a transformed light-soaked warehouse. Art Sawa, with its impressive roster of artists from the region, and 12,000 sq. ft of space, makes it one of the most important galleries in the region and a distinctive art platform featuring artists from the Middle East, North Africa and neighboring countries.

Art Sawa which translates to Art Together is Amel B. Makkawis vision and aspiration that the space be a venue that facilitates and fosters interaction, dialogue and inspiration through art, between artists and the public across the Middle East.
