This gallery was built in 1971 by Sami H. Nadhim, the Director General of Education in Sulaimaniya. It is in the center of the city, near the Museum of Sulaimaniya. The center offers courses on the following crafts: ceramics, minerals, silkscreening, carpet weaving, leather works, carpentry, sewing, flower works, and covering works. The goal of the gallery is to preserve Kurdish cultural arts and heritage.
