About Us

Every publication we create is born with a strong raison d’être to connect the MENASA region with the rest of the world through art and culture.

With two decades of publishing and distributing art and culture content in the Middle East and Arab world, we have become a network, a platform, an archive and a soft power movement.

Creation

Mixed Media Publishing works with an expert team of art and culture writers, researchers and editors. With several bilingual graphic designers, we are able to create publications, supplements and special operations which range from classic to daring to contemporary chic.

Production

We work exclusively with one printing house in the UAE, ensuring quality at par with international standards. Our 20+ years experience in producing print publications allows for an in-depth understanding of various papers, printing and binding methods.

Distribution

With over two decades of publishing Canvas magazine (since 2004), Mixed Media Publishing has a strong network of sales points and display opportunities specifically relevant to regional art and culture publications. Distribution includes bookstores, concept stores, libraries, universities, concept stores, airports and art and culture institutions in the region and internationally.

Our Team

A multi-national team of art and culture enthusiasts from the region and beyond, in addition to a wider network of creatives around the globe.
