Our Story

Welcome to Meraki Art Studio, where creativity meets joy, and every experience is a masterpiece. We believe every creation tells a story, crafted with intention, color, and heart at Meraki Art Studio.

Meet the founders – Kay & Pooh

In 2018, two passionate souls, Kay and Pooh, turned their love for art into a dream called Meraki Art Studio. What started as a small, heartfelt project has blossomed into one of Dubai’s most vibrant art destinations. Fueled by creativity, courage, and a deep belief in the healing power of self-expression, Kay and Pooh built more than a studio, they built a community. Today, Meraki Art Studio welcomes people from all walks of life to discover joy, connection, and a touch of magic through art. Their journey is proof that when you create with love, the world shows up to join you.

I highly recommend this place especially for a birthday! Invited around 40 kids and not 1 got bored! They did a fantastic job!

The tastefully designed studio is home to a quaint cafe bar, where you can order your dose of caffeine for the session. Meraki Art Studio Dubai offers private and group workshops that cover a variety of art and wellness sessions. The best thing is, when you sign up for a class, you only have to bring yourself and a creative mood – everything else is provided by the studio.

Art with purpose

At Meraki Art Studio, we believe in the healing power of creativity.

As part of our commitment to community well-being, we host regular art therapy sessions that support mental health, emotional expression, and personal growth.

We partner with schools, wellness centers, and local organizations to bring the benefits of art to those who need it most—especially children, caregivers, and individuals facing emotional challenges.

Through guided, mindful art experiences, we create safe, uplifting spaces that nurture self-expression and self-care.
