SCQ is envisioned as a vibrant hub for artists, creatives, and intellectuals—both local and international—to showcase talent, exchange knowledge, and foster innovation within a stimulating environment designed to inspire creativity. Its integrated design, combining green spaces, interconnected buildings, and essential facilities such as caf.s, restaurants, and co-working spaces, will create an energetic atmosphere that provides visitors with a platform for cultural and artistic exchange and collaboration.
Located near key institutions such as the House of Wisdom, the American University of Sharjah, and the Sharjah Research, Technology and Innovation Park, SCQ is strategically positioned at the heart of the emirate’s educational and cultural ecosystem.
