Dubai Culture and Arts Authority (Dubai Culture) has announced the return of the Dubai Art Season for the 2023 edition during February and March. The “Take a Walk on the Art Side”-themed event will take place in conjunction with a number of other entertainment events taking place in the emirate, such as the Dubai Opera performances, Sikka Art and Design Festival, Art Dubai, and DIFC Art Nights.
More than 250 international celebrities are anticipated to attend. The 16th iteration of Art Dubai will take place at Madinat Jumeirah from March 1–5, according to the season’s schedule. In order to explore the UAE’s experience in influencing the future, H. E Reem bint Ebrahim Al-Hashimy, the minister for international cooperation, and Hala Badri, the director-general of Dubai Culture, will also hold a joint session.
An exhibition showcasing Dubai in 1962 is being held by Dubai Culture to commemorate 50 years of diplomatic ties between the UAE and Japan. The photographs in the exhibition were taken by Japanese photojournalist Yoshio Kawashima during his trip to the Middle East. On Friday, the Taste of Dubai Festival will return to honor the culinary arts in Dubai and the surrounding area.
Up to March 17, an exhibition at the Al-Safa Art and Design Library will examine Dubai’s past, present, and daily life. The calendar of events also lists immersive entertainment parks with 12 zones of themed interactive experiences. Alserkal Avenue and Alserkal Arts Foundation will present a variety of imaginative cultural events, like art walks, throughout Dubai Art Season to offer other ways to interact with art.
According to Saeed Mubarak bin Kharbash, CEO of Dubai Culture’s Arts and Literature Sector, the Dubai Art Season has developed into a hub that unites many creative events in the emirate. The season provides opportunities for writers, artists and intellectuals to express their creativity in a variety of fields, which is consistent with Dubai Culture’s commitment to creating a sustainable and supportive artistic ecosystem for entrepreneurs, he said. This is consistent with the aim of His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum to establish Dubai as a hub for the world’s talent and culture.
