Overview
For the last few years, Sharjah Foundation’s Community Programme has been committed to engaging and growing the local creative community. Facilitated by experienced professionals as well as art and cultural enthusiasts, this programme has offered participants aged 15 and older a wide range of immersive workshops, excursions and performance activities on contemporary art within the context of Sharjah’s rich artistic heritage and dramatic landscapes.
Registration
In January 2020, the Community Programme became part of the larger Programme for Youth and Adults. The workshops, meetups, photowalks, open mics and other community-based activities can now be found in the Courses, Workshops and Excursions section of that programme.
