About Artsamy
The regional fine-art platform for the Middle East and North Africa
From the Hindiyeh Museum to a platform for the region.
Built on twenty years of looking.
Artsamy was founded by Hindiyeh family, building on a collection that has been quietly assembled, over more than two decades, by Sami Hindiyeh.
That collection — over five thousand works of MENA contemporary art, acquired one piece at a time, mostly directly from artists or trusted galleries across the region — eventually outgrew the walls of a private home and became the Hindiyeh Museum: a regional institution dedicated to preserving, presenting, and contextualising the art of the Middle East and North Africa across generations.
The museum is the physical anchor. Artsamy is its digital extension, and the platform built on top of it. The collection is the foundation. The museum is the proof. Artsamy is what comes next.
What Artsamy is
Artsamy is the regional fine-art platform for the Middle East and North Africa. Built from Jordan, it brings the work of the region's galleries, artists, museums, and writers into one place — at the quality the work deserves.
We are not a checkout-button marketplace. Every piece on Artsamy is provenance-verified, every sale is personally coordinated by a real person on our team, and every artwork ships with a Certificate of Authenticity. The platform holds the artworks, the galleries and museums that produce them, the writers who interpret them, and the events that mark the region's calendar — all together, all open, all in one address.
It is the place we wished existed when we wanted to see MENA art at the depth and seriousness the region's work deserves. Now it does.
Where this is going
We are launching from Jordan and reaching outward — across the Levant, the Gulf, North Africa, and to MENA audiences around the world. The aim, by year three, is that no serious conversation about contemporary art from this part of the world happens without Artsamy as part of it.
Whether you are a collector building a wall, a gallery looking for a wider audience, an artist seeking a regional home, or a reader who wants to know what is opening this week in Sharjah or Beirut — there is a place for you here.
