We are delighted to introduce a Muslim Artists’ Network to all our Muslim Artists! 

We aim to provide a platform for artists to meet, network, and share experiences relating to art and creativity. 

The Muslim Artists Network, founded by Qaisra Shahraz MBE JP FRSA, Founder of MACFEST (Muslim Arts and Culture Festival), is a vibrant initiative dedicated to celebrating and promoting the diverse talents of Muslim artists across the UK. Established to provide a platform for creatives from Muslim backgrounds, the network fosters collaboration, visibility, and creates opportunities to showcase their work, connect with wider audiences, and challenge stereotypes through artistic expression. As part of MACFEST’s broader mission to build bridges between communities through culture, the Muslim Artists Network plays a key role in nurturing emerging talent and enriching the multicultural fabric of contemporary art.

NETWORKING EVENT 2026 WITH SAMIR MALIK

We invite you to a new online meetup opportunity for Islamic artists across the UK and internationally.

We will have regular online meet-ups between up-and-coming and budding artists along with established artists to share, discuss, ask questions and explore Islamic art and its methods, encompassing all disciplines within the Islamic Art remit.

There will be at least one established artist on each call.

The aim is to create a safe place to explore and discover, through sharing, interaction and conversation, the journey and methods of being an artist in the world today, to get and give support and to guide each other to hone our skills and improve our art as we share it with the world.
