  • Arabic

The three artists who will be producing the art works to cover the ArtBus this year have been named as: Dina Saadi, Sultan Al Ramahi and Safiya Mohammed. Responding to an open call, the artists have been commissioned to develop artworks under the theme A Shared Past. A United Future - which takes inspiration from the newly opened Etihad Museum and its historical significance as a testament to the crucial first moments of the nation's history.

Adorning the side of three buses, which will take passengers round the different districts of Dubai’s art scene, the buses will become moving artworks themselves for the three days that they run.

The ArtBus routes cover the galleries and arts spaces in Dubai’s major arts hubs. They run through Al Quoz, Downtown Dubai, DIFC, d3, Jumeirah and Al Fahidi Historical Neighbourhood.

Hosted by Art In The City and the Dubai Culture & Arts Authority, this is the 10th year of the ArtBus and for just Dh50, you can go for a ride. To book seats on the ArtBus contact ArtintheCity on +9714 341 7303 or email info@artinthecity.com.
