As AI and technology continue to shape the art world, ADMAF has launched the new G42 Advanced Technologies Art Award in collaboration with G42 and Mohamed bin Zayed University of Artificial Intelligence (MBZUAI). The programme aims to support the integration of advanced technologies into visual arts practices in the UAE.
Open to Emirati and UAE-based artists aged 18 and above, the platform invites creatives working at the intersection of art and technology to explore and reimagine cultural heritage through contemporary visual art practices.
Up to six shortlisted applicants from the open call will be invited to join MBZUAI’s established coursework classes for one week. The programme will provide both conceptual and technical grounding, alongside an understanding of the ethical considerations involved in creating work using AI and advanced technologies. This experience will support participants in developing and refining their work ahead of the final selection.
The winning piece will be presented at Abu Dhabi Festival 2027.
Applications are open until 14 August.
