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 building on a collection that has been 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.

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.

A region browsable as a region

Every serious gallery, every museum, every artist worth knowing — in one place, kept current, cross-linked, and complete.

Provenance, authenticity, editorial taste — non-negotiable

The standard the top of the international art market holds itself to, and the standard the region's work deserves.

Our language, our context, our terms
