About ARTE
Artisans of the Emirates was founded in 2005 by Miriam Walsh, a felt maker, and Paul Townsend, a silversmith; both experienced artisans regularly featuring at the fairs in Dubai and long-term residents of Dubai.
Many of the craft fairs in Dubai at that time included a high percentage of imported goods of varying quality and often produced in bulk. Mixed with a sense of dissatisfaction of how other events were run, Paul & Miriam decided to set up their own Artisan of the Emirates community to showcase the quality work produced by talented individuals living in the UAE.
ARTE has seen a rapid increase in membership since 2005; it now boasts over 1600 members, from at least 30 different countries, with items as diverse as contemporary silver jewellery, haute couture clothing, artistically designed cakes for special occasions, Waldorf dolls, pottery, crochet items, silk & wool felted scarves, hats & bags, photography and digital art plus painting styles ranging from oils, watercolours and acrylics to pencil drawings and 3-d mixed media pieces. The souks offer the ideal venue for gift buyers, or those just looking for locally made quality art and crafts as a lasting memory of the Arabian region.
The ARTE markets are now the regular haunt for around 100 different vendors and continues to offer a relaxed family atmosphere with plenty of hands on workshops for the visitors to try out. For more information about ARTE, please visit www.arte.ae.
