The CCC is an initiative by COLABS to foster and promote local art and artists. We believe that art belongs in the everyday and that every day should belong to art.
We offer a space for artists to freely create and grow through the collective. On the agenda: exhibitions, residencies, pop-ups, workshops, summer internships, a mobile gallery and more!
Through the CCC, we have had multiple art events that have displayed over 200 artworks, highlighting more than 100 local artists.
Featuring 150+ works by over 80 artists, the collective curates exhibitions and workshops, and houses monumental sculptures—highlighted by a 64-foot centerpiece
The COLABS Creative Collective (CCC) is a non-profit dedicated to supporting the arts by empowering artists through residencies, exhibitions, workshops, and open calls.
By providing platforms for visibility and growth, commissioning new works, and curating a collection of 150+ pieces, CCC uplifts artists while fostering creativity and dialogue. Its efforts create lasting cultural impact, building a stronger creative community and weaving art into everyday life.

Moin Rehman is a talented artist who graduated with distinction from the National College of Arts, Lahore in 2023 with a Bachelor’s in Fine Arts, bringing distinctive features to his work through his prior studies in architecture and visual communication design, having won the 1st National Urban Sketching Competition in 2017 and participated in NASA Conventions while receiving various recognitions throughout his academic journey.
His artistic practice constructs narratives using visual memory and imagination to create stylized pseudo-historical monuments and surreal landscapes that blur the boundaries between reality and fantasy, exploring evolutionary and devolutionary trajectories of societies, cultures, and theological concepts while experimenting with diverse mediums including ballpoint pens, graphite, oil paints, and his currently favored archival pen and acrylic paint.

CCC curates exhibitions and hosts engaging workshops, including art therapy sessions, to celebrate diverse creativity, foster connection, and support personal growth through artistic expression.
The CCC Artist-in-Residence (AIR) program offers artists dedicated time, space, and resources to develop their practice. Through mentorship, collaboration, and public engagement, residents are encouraged to push creative boundaries and deepen their artistic impact.
The main goal is to establish COLABS as a regional player in the art world, and to create a community of creatives. COLABS already has an affiliation with arts and culture, notably with Spotify, Coke Studio and Boiler Room.
Building on this momentum, the CCC plans to take its endeavors from the local to the regional and engaging in cultural exchange across the MENA region.
