Creativity in Al Quoz – The Shelter

The Shelter

The Shelter

The Shelter is a first of its kind community workspace that allows individuals from various creative disciplines to engage in an environment that nurtures entrepreneurial small businesses. The Shelter is a medium for forward thinkers, creatives and intellectuals to connect and exchange ideas; converting those interactions into commercial services and products through subsidized work spaces.

Shelter’s Art Dubai VIP program
The Shelter is an alternative VIP lounge for Art Dubai. We will have an area set up with refreshments for the VIPs to relax. We are providing shuttle service from Art Dubai to Shelter and back all day during the duration. 

Shelter is also setting up hot desks for anyone who wishes to get away and get some work done during the Fair. 

There is an offer for the VIP's to have a unique tour round Al Quoz - an arrangement can be made for VIP’s to be taken round the area to the different galleries etc. 

Please contact Saadia Zahid for further info saadia@shelter.ae
