Alserkal Avenue is Dubai's contemporary art and culture hub, set inside a converted industrial warehouse district in Al Quoz. It's home to a concentration of independent art galleries, design studios, performance spaces and creative businesses, and it hosts regular exhibition openings, talks and events throughout the year.
It has a distinctly different atmosphere from the rest of Downtown Dubai — low-key, artsy, and industrial rather than polished — which makes it a good stop for anyone looking to see a more creative side of the city. Most galleries are free to enter and open to walk-ins.
