The Centre specializes in the practice of Arabic calligraphy and methods of its implementation. It offers training and workshops in traditional material, pottery, glass and other materials. Students are introduced to the history of calligraphy, and given a hands-on experience in the unique skill of calligraphy and types of ornamentations and techniques used in calligraphic works.
The rooms of the center are often used by the Sharjah Biennial as a temporary venue for presenting works by an individual artist.
