As a cataloguer and research librarian of Islamic studies, a specialist in rare and out-of-print books on all aspects of Islamic civilization, an aficionado of Islamic art, and as an avid collector of printed materials, photographs, textiles and contemporary art from different parts of the Muslim world, the opportunity to inform and share with readers the multi-faceted and diverse artistic and architectural heritage of the worlds of Islam, past and present, has led to the creation of ArtsIslamica. This website seeks to bring together openly accessible news stories, articles, photo essays, publications, reviews and interviews, symposium and conference proceedings, gallery events and exhibitions relating to Islamic art and architecture.

Any contributions or links in the fields of Islamic art, architecture, and archaeology should be sent to: artsislamica@gmail.com
