PUBLIC ART STRATEGY

Art Dubai Group has been commissioned by Dubai Culture & Arts Authority to support the implementation of the Dubai Public Art Strategy—an ambitious multi-year initiative developed by Dubai Culture to transform the city into an open-air artistic canvas. Through this unique collaboration with Dubai’s leading cultural institutions, the programme invites artists from or based in the UAE to realise groundbreaking public art commissions across the city. The first large-scale installation under this initiative, ‘Union of Artists’, was unveiled in 2024 at Al Hudaiba Public Park.

‘Union of Artists’ is a collaborative sculpture created by five acclaimed Emirati artists Khalid Albanna, Afra Al Dhaheri, Shaikha Al Mazrou, Asma Belhamar, Mohamed Ahmed Ibrahim. Blending each of the different artist’s techniques, expertise and generational perspectives, the work delves into the relationship between tension and balance to explore themes of unity and cooperation. Dubai Public Art Strategy has introduced a dedicated education programme, providing creative professionals with an in-depth platform to explore the realm of public art. To apply follow the link below.
