Art Box Studio stands as Qatar’s very first walk-in rug tufting studio and comprehensive experimental art sanctuary. Founded by Qatari artist Dana Almajid in 2022, this innovative creative hub has transformed the local art scene by making international crafting concepts completely accessible to the local community.
