FAQ

ArtDAO Membership FAQ

Who is Arts DAO for?

ArtsDAO is a high-trust community in Dubai for founders, builders, creatives,operators, and investors who value relationships as much as results.

It’s for people who value meaningful relationships and believe the bestopportunities come from shared time and everyday conversations, nottransactional networking.

Who is Arts DAO not for?

Arts DAO is not a party club, a tourist attraction, or a place to aggressivelypitch services.

If you are primarily here to sell, extract value, or attend without contributing tothe community, it is unlikely to be the right fit. ArtsDAO works best for peoplewho show up with curiosity, generosity, and a long-term mindset.

When does the Clubhouse open and how often can I visit?

The Clubhouse is designed to be part of your regular week, not a once-in-awhile venue. The Clubhouse is scheduled to open in April 2026.

Members will be able to visit for co-working, casual meetings, and communityactivities during operating hours. Some spaces or events may follow specificschedules, which will always be shared in advance.

Can I use the Clubhouse as a coworking space?

Yes. Co-working is a core part of the Clubhouse experience.

Members are welcome to work from the space, take meetings, and buildalongside other members. It’s designed to feel comfortable and lived-in, morelike a shared home for builders than a traditional office.
