Tashkeel Launches Make Works UAE

Upholding its role as a support system for artists and designers, and reflecting its firm commitment towards nurturing the UAE creative and cultural industries, Tashkeel is delighted to launch Make Works UAE. This comes on the cusp of Tashkeel’s 10-year anniversary.

The first Make Works initiative outside Europe, Make Works UAE is a non-profit initiative. The open-access online directory aims to facilitate accurate and efficient connections between creative practitioners and UAE-based fabricators and manufacturers. The new interactive platform invites artists and designers who are looking to connect with reputable producers and crafts people in the UAE.

Lisa Ball-Lechgar, Deputy Director of Tashkeel said, “As the first Make Works platform outside Europe, Make Works UAE seeks to strengthen the bridge between the creative and cultural industries and the manufacturing sector. By increasing the range and number of products designed and produced in the UAE through collective collaboration, we hope to not only contribute to the growth of a sustainable economy but also inspire excellence through innovation. Tashkeel looks forward to building this important information resource for the benefit of makers, manufacturers and consumers.”
