The Studio Programme supports artists and creative practitioners at different stages of their careers by providing affordable, long- and short-term spaces for artistic research, experimentation and production.
Located on the site of a former souq, Al Hamriyah Studios combines contemporary architecture with elements of the original market. Combining avant-garde and modern architectural technologies, the complex preserves much of the original footprint of the market, including the central courtyard. The outdoor area is landscaped with local greenery and sculpture, providing the perfect setting for conversation or quiet contemplation. Since its inauguration in 2017, the venue has hosted exhibitions, site-specific installations, performances and outdoor film screenings.
Selected applicants will have access to both shared and individual spaces within the complex, including two project spaces, a pantry and restroom, as well as a garden and a courtyard.
