Dubai Culture and Arts Authority has organized a number of free interactive workshops for the 10th edition of Sikka Art and Design Festival 2022, which opened on March 15 and will run until March 24 under the theme ‘Celebrating Art, Celebrating Growth.’ The Authority is welcoming both adults and children to partake in these innovative workshops, which will provide them with an excellent chance to improve their abilities and uncover their creativity.
Over the course of 10 days, Sikka Art and Design Festival 2022 will include a programme of 60 workshops curated by Art Dubai, covering all artistic fields within three categories, visual art, design and new media, with the participation of local and international talents. Through these workshops, Dubai Culture seeks to meet the technical knowledge needs of aspiring young artists and contribute to discovering the talents of young citizens and residents of the UAE for their development. It also seeks to highlight Al Fahidi Historical Neighbourhood as a cultural tourist destination and encourage tourists to visit it in line with the ‘Dubai Destinations – Dubai Art Season’ campaign launched under the directives of His Highness Sheikh Ahmed bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Chairman of the Dubai Media Council.
