Through exhibitions, learning opportunities, research initiatives, and commissions, it’s a vibrant center that buzzes with creative energy. Since its establishment back in 2015, Al Hassan has been the driving force behind the scenes, shaping the 421 strategy, curating programs, and spearheading community-driven projects.
