There is a wonderful story behind the building which has been a cornerstone for the budding careers of many artists. An expatriate by the name of Allison Collins, who came to Dubai in order to fulfill her calling as an interior designer, fell in love with the building which now houses the gallery. The love for her adoptive country, with its amazing buildings and their hidden historical values, grew as each day passed. She and her husband secured the lease to the building in 1978 with the assistance of two Iranian importers and an Egyptian trader.

The next ten years saw the growth of community within this building where experienced artists and armatures alike got their fair chance to enhance their talents. The house grew in popularity as time went by. The year 1988 was a dark year for the artistic community housed in the building for a demolition was ordered in the area. Nevertheless by 1989 matters were satisfactorily settled and the family was allowed to move back in to the house with relative safety.
