Townhouse Gallery

Cairo, Egypt

Townhouse is a nonprofit art space situated in the heart of downtown Cairo. Established in 1998, Townhouse has initiated a breadth of activities in its various spaces: key regional symposia, meaningful community outreach, landmark exhibitions, and international residencies for artists, curators, writers, and filmmakers.

The Townhouse Library is home to cultural salons for conversation, curated film screenings and a growing archive, emphasizing the significance of discourse dissemination and the documentation of the undertakings of contemporary art in Cairo.

An open-door policy has allowed cultural activists across all creative media to find an avenue of support for their projects, ideas and experiments. The institution collaborates with a range of artists and institutions in every aspect of its work, aiming to contribute to a comprehensive network in the local, regional and international arts community.
