To continue the spirit of giving and charity during the Holy Month of Ramadan, Etihad Modern Art Gallery in Abu Dhabi will be hosting The Art Souq.
Opening next Monday, the souq will comprise a collection of contemporary art with affordable price tags.
The gallery team have carefully selected work by resident and invited artists, local and international, established and emerging talents creating a varied art landscape for the visitor to experience.
“As mentioned before, myself and the team at the gallery are always eager to promote art as part of our society. With this event we would like to spread the message that art is not just for a private circle of collectors and connoisseurs: Art is for everyone, present in every aspect of life, be it social, cultural, or educational,” said Khaled Seddiq Al Mutawaa, the gallery’s founder.
The Art Souq will feature sculptures, photorealistic oil paintings, fine art photography prints, mixed media pieces and installations from artists such as Khulood Al Jabri, Mu’tasim Al Kubaisi, Yiannis Roussakis and Khaled Najjad.
“We are committed to honour the trust that the public has showed us since we opened, by consistently selecting and showcasing exciting work of the highest possible standard,” added Al Mutawaa.”Through Art Souq 2014 we would like to convey the idea of developing heritage, with classical forms of art as its foundation. It gives me great pleasure to be able to bring together so many of the regions distinguished artists under one roof, during this Holy Month.”
* Art Souq 2014 opens on Monday July 7th at 9pm. The event will continue until Thursday July 31st.
