About Tashkeel
Tashkeel is an organisation in Dubai that supports artists and designers living in the UAE. It was founded in 2008 by Sheikha Lateefa bint Maktoum and has become an important part of the city's creative community.
The organisation provides facilities that individual artists often cannot afford on their own, such as studios, printmaking equipment, photography darkrooms, textile and jewellery workshops, and fabrication spaces.
Tashkeel runs programmes for different stages of a creative career, including residencies, mentoring, professional development and the Tanween design programme, which helps UAE-based designers create and launch products.
Exhibitions at Tashkeel give artists a platform to show their work to the public, collectors and curators, and many participants have gone on to exhibit internationally.
The organisation has had a base in Nad Al Sheba and a presence in Al Fahidi Historical Neighbourhood, an area of old Dubai with traditional wind-tower houses.
Dubai's creative scene has grown considerably, with galleries, art fairs such as Art Dubai and design events such as Dubai Design Week.
Startups UAE lists Tashkeel among the UAE's creative organisations.
