Dubai Art Season officially began on March 1, when Sheikha Latifa said: “Over its past two editions, Dubai Art Season has evolved as a city-wide celebration of arts. The calendar of diverse activities defines the cultural identity of Dubai through its unmatched showcase of events that inspire and engage the community. With Dubai Art Season, we are driving a global dialogue in the creative scene by welcoming international artists to Dubai, and highlighting the rich creative scene of Dubai through the works of our emerging and established talents.
“Dubai Art Season will continue to be a central pillar in our strategy to supporting the Dubai Plan 2021 announced by His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, UAE Vice President and Prime Minister and Ruler of Dubai, with the goal of establishing Dubai as a city of Happy, creative and empowered people.”
