ACF is a platform supporting emerging artists, designers & creative minds based in the UAE, holding a vibrant environment featuring 6 Exhibition Rooms, Creativity Corner, Fashion Corner, Book Quarter and The Shed. ACF also hosts at the Rooftop, Events & Cultural Programmes with a fully-equipped Workshop Room.
The shed was an abandoned space in the Al Fahidi Historical Neighbourhood which was then taken over by ACF during the 2018 Sikka art fair with the aims of creating a space just as vibrant and lively as the foundation. This extension combines all the corners of ACF, i.e., Fashion, Creativity, Art, and Books into one compact space. It is a small yet now a very significant part of ACF to showcase and promote the works of our artists, creative minds, and designers.
