Dubai Public Art, a government organisation in the United Arab Emirates, aims to turn the emirate into a public, open, and international gallery of art so that both locals and visitors can enjoy outstanding works of art.
This is done in an effort to enhance the local aesthetic and cultural landscape. Together with Tashkeel, Art Dubai, Al Serkal Avenue, Jameel Arts Centre, and Akaas Visual Arts, the new initiative will feature a number of distinctive, site-specific art works that will be dispersed throughout Dubai.
UAE-based artists can now submit proposals for the first commission being organised by Dubai Culture. It will be unveiled in late 2023 in Al Hudaiba, one of Dubai’s most stunning public gardens, which looks out over the Etihad Museum and Union House. The application date is February 13, 2023.
Each of the shortlisted artists will get a sum of US$5,000 to produce a thorough proposal and a prototype of their works when the 16th edition of Art Dubai is revealed from March 1 to 5.
