Abu Dhabi Art Hub

Mussafah building to be converted into live-work art space

Although Abu Dhabi is building some grand museums with world renowned names, such as the Louvre, it still needs to work at establishing itself as an artistic hub on the global stage. This is where the Abu Dhabi Art Hub comes in. Having just been inaugurated in past few weeks, founder Ahmed Saleh Al Yafei has begun the journey by turning an angular building in Mussafah into the city’s first live-work space for artists. The building has a residency programme, as well as studios for artists to create their work. There is also a café and art supplies store.
