Tashkeel is an art facility in the United Arab Emirates. Established in Dubai, United Arab Emirates in 2008 by Lateefa bint Maktoum, Tashkeel seeks to provide a nurturing environment for the growth of contemporary art and design practice rooted in the UAE. Through multi-disciplinary studios, work spaces and galleries located in both Nad Al Sheba and Al Fahidi, it enables creative practice, experimentation and dialogue among practitioners and the wider community.[4][5]
Operating on an open membership model, Tashkeel's annual programme of training, residencies,[6] workshops,[7] talks, exhibitions,[8] international collaborations and publications aims to further practitioner development, public engagement, lifelong learning and the creative and cultural industries.
Tashkeel published a book entitled 'Reference Point: A History of Tashkeel and the UAE Art Scene' to celebrate its ten-year anniversary.[9]
