How do we Operate?
Cintraal operates on a model of collaboration and community-driven support, making creativity accessible and sustainable for Cairo’s emerging talent. Our foundation is built on partnership, leveraging resources from The Startup Kitchen (TSK) and a network of local mentors and industry experts to bring a holistic approach to our offerings. Members have access to shared resources, monthly community meet-ups, and project-driven collaborations to foster growth from within.
We operate on a tiered membership model that offers flexible access to our workspaces, services, and events. Whether you're looking for a co-working space or a private studio, we have options tailored to your needs. A tiered membership structure ensures that every creative, regardless of their budget or discipline, can find a place at Cintraal; But if you don’t need these services regularly, contact us for service specific options!
The Cintraal Foundation
Cintraal isn’t just a creative hub—it’s a movement to foster arts and culture across Egypt. Through the Cintraal Foundation, we support projects and creatives from underrepresented backgrounds, ensuring diverse voices are part of Cairo’s artistic landscape. As a nonprofit entity, Cintraal Foundation leverages grants, sponsorships, and donations to provide financial assistance and professional resources to those who need it most.
Our goal is to make Cairo a more inclusive, vibrant space where creative expression is accessible to all. By supporting the next generation of artists, we’re laying the groundwork for a sustainable and diverse creative industry in Egypt. The foundation also helps creatives navigate complex regulatory processes like securing permits or registering intellectual property. With our support, you can focus on what you do best—creating.
The Cintraal Community
Community is the heart of Cintraal. We believe that creativity thrives in connection, and every member plays a role in shaping our shared space. Through regular meet-ups, collaborative projects, and community events, we create a space where everyone can learn, share, and grow. Our curated events—exhibitions, performances, and networking nights—are designed to bring people together and celebrate the unique talent that Cairo offers.
Whether you're seeking feedback on your work, looking for collaborators, or just want to be part of a supportive creative family, Cintraal is here to connect you with people who share your passion.
Through our events—like intimate concerts, exhibitions in our in-house gallery with rotating curators, and networking sessions—we create opportunities for members to connect with each other and with potential clients or collaborators.
We know that being a creative can be isolating at times. That’s why we’ve built an ecosystem that offers emotional support through peer feedback sessions and mentorship programs. At Cintraal, you’re never alone in your journey.
