This new spot is designed for connection, creation and collaboration.
When it comes to art, culture and community, Dubai has plenty to offer. The city loves its fair share of creative spaces, and no matter how many pop up, it’s never quite enough. And now, adding to this already buzzing cultural scene is The Sandwash.
Located in Al Quoz, The Sandwash is Dubai’s upcoming cultural hub. This spot was a sand-washing plant back in the 90s — which is how it gets its name. Now, this industrial plot has been transformed into a playground for artists, entrepreneurs, and cultural innovators.
At The Sandwash, the raw, industrial charm meets sleek, contemporary design — akin to Alserkal Avenue, yet different. Old warehouses have been transformed into flexible spaces ready to be further shaped into art galleries, creative studios, showrooms, event venues, fitness spaces and much more.
The Sandwash is built to be a community centre with substance. Here, it’s all about bringing people together — be it through art, business, innovation or culture. The space features 33 premium, multi-purpose warehouses that are perfect for everything from exhibitions, art galleries, cultural events, fashion shows, pop-up shops and much more.
The Sandwash will also be home to health and wellness spaces offering fitness classes, wellness workshops and gym memberships. An expansive outdoor event area designed for festivals, performances, and more alfresco gatherings is on the agenda as well. All this, along with a lineup of dining options is sure to elevate the experience.
The Sandwash officially opens its doors in May this year. So, if you’re an artist looking for a sunlit studio, a business ready to showcase your brand, or simply someone who enjoys wandering through creative spaces, The Sandwash is where you ought to be.
