Dubai’s longest-standing gallery, Majlis, has been operating since 1976 as a commercial gallery and meeting place for artists. Compared to some of the more contemporary galleries in Dubai, Majlis exhibits more traditional Arab painting, craft and furniture, as well as special exhibitions and workshops through the year. It is located in the historic Bastakiya district in Bur Dubai. Artists can book studios in the gallery to work and the gallery offers a residency program for overseas artists to exhibit in Dubai.
