About Al Quoz Creative Zone
Al Quoz Creative Zone is a Dubai initiative to transform Al Quoz, one of the city's older industrial areas, into a hub for the creative economy. It was announced as part of Dubai's plans to attract and grow creative talent and businesses.
Al Quoz already had a creative identity before the zone was announced. Its warehouses became home to art galleries, design studios, cafés and performance spaces, with Alserkal Avenue becoming one of the region's best-known arts districts.
The Creative Zone aims to build on this by encouraging more studios, workshops, galleries and creative companies to set up in the area, supported by easier licensing, affordable spaces and improved public areas.
Creative industries include visual arts, design, fashion, film, music, publishing, gaming and digital content. Dubai's creative economy strategy aims to increase their contribution to the economy and attract creative professionals to live and work in the city.
The area's mix of industrial buildings and growing cultural venues gives it a character different from Dubai's newer districts.
Startups UAE includes Al Quoz Creative Zone among Dubai's creative economy initiatives.
