Art Dubai – Now Accepting Proposals

Posted by: admin  :  Category: Art

International travelers looking for five-star Dubai hotels will be pleasantly and consistently surprised.  One of the world’s hotspots, guests here usually return, which speaks very well of the hospitality to be found.  The hotels really are outstanding, with an exquisite attention to detail in design, and a generous dose of old-world charm.  This is a magnificent place to begin a journey here, and a place to make a beautiful temporary home.

There is so much to do in Dubai. With its lovely beaches, first-rate shopping, with spectacular new shopping centers as well as old marketplaces, and sumptuous nightlife, Dubai’s reputation is well-deserved.  There is a fascinating trend in the past few years toward intellectuals and artists who are making this their home base.  Some of the most interesting galleries in the world are here, some built into existing structures, some created from the ground up.  But there is no doubt that the governments vision to make this a creative capital in the world market is helping to change the face of the global art market.  Art Dubai is one of the initiatives that is causing an interesting stir.  A sort of central point where contemporary art in the Arab world is displayed and discussed, Art Dubai is an annual festival, where galleries show works by local and international guests.  The deadline has recently opened for the next round of submissions.

The vision here is very inclusive to the global community, and still maintains a dedication to promoting artists from the UAE.  One of the initiatives under Art Dubai, Contemporabia is a fascinating week-long event that is more or less simultaneous, where curators, critics, and artists gather to discuss important issues in Gulf Art today.  The considerable attention to art production and critical discussion from this region is suggesting a remarkable shift in the art world generally, and it begs it to continue to open its doors to the notion of a global culture.
