Committed to the adaptive reuse of historical structures, Sharjah Art Foundation has preserved a number of heritage sites across the Emirate of Sharjah to create venues for exhibitions, events, learning programmes and working spaces for artists and community members. The venues and their locations are shown below.


The working hours at Foundation venues are Saturday to Thursday, 9:00 am–9:00 pm, and Friday, 4:00 pm–9:00 pm. Please note that some venues may be closed if they are not currently hosting an exhibition.
