Alserkal Avenue is full of contradictions. An industrial space that’s home to the region’s finest contemporary art galleries. A cultural district that boasts some of the most daring business concepts around. A place of carefully curated individual experiences, where everyone is welcome.

Founded in 2007 by Emirati businessman and patron Abdelmonem Bin Eisa Alserkal, Alserkal is renowned for our ground-breaking artistic productions, experimental approach, and for the creation of culturally meaningful spaces that inspire and shape communities. We have three primary areas of activity:
cultivating a creative economy in Dubai and building a collaborative network of civic cultural institutions through our renowned cultural district, Alserkal Avenue;
supporting public artist commissions, residencies, research grants, and educational programs through our non-profit, Alserkal Arts Foundation; and, providing advisory services to public and private sector entities.
Alserkal Avenue is a vibrant cultural district
Alserkal Avenue was established in 2008 by Alserkal following the visionary thinking of our founder Abdelmonem Bin Eisa Alserkal, who sought to cultivate a vibrant creative community and support cultural production in Dubai. Spanning 500,000 sqft in the Al Quoz industrial area of Dubai, Alserkal Avenue is home to a community of over 70 contemporary art galleries, visual and performing arts organizations, designers, home-grown and entrepreneur-led businesses, and community spaces. As one of the region’s foremost destinations for contemporary art, and home to Dubai’s risk-takers, makers, and wide-ranging creative communities, the Avenue provides cultural experiences for local, regional, and international audiences through its extensive year-round programming.
