L'Atelier d'Alexandrie is a very dynamic Egyptian NGO originally founded in 1935 as a meeting point for the Alexandrian artistic scene. It moved to its present premises in 1969, and took the name of Atelier of the Artists and Writers of the City of Alexandria.

The in-house operations are managed by Moataz El Safty, Coordinator of the Artistic Programming, Jilal Ibrahim, Secretary, and Ahmad Saad, responsible of the technical and logistic issues. The Atelier is mostly funded by the subscriptions of its nearly 1000 members.
