What is our World Tour Art Exhibition about?
The New Nomads
An exhibition of Dubai-based Contemporary Artists
DAF World Tour Art Exhibition has successfully inaugurated its first Station at the Times Art Museum in Beijing this August, 2014. New art stations are in the making. We are honored to have our next station in Beirut, Lebanon at the UNESCO Palace. Our aim is to create world awareness that the UAE is a growing Artistic Hub which has taken a Giant LEAP as in many other sectors. and to promote artists internationally saving them cost.
" The New Nomads" Our Caravan of artists greatly influenced by a rich and diverse life in Dubai is stretching out to the world one city at a time. First Batch of Artists has now completed its registration confirming the UNESCO exhibition with a minimum number of artists exhibiting but we are open now to new applications until the maximum number of artists is reached. All Applications will be closed mid January 2015.
UAE and the ARTS :
Only a few decades ago, the United Arab Emirates was a land of desert, inhabited by nomadic Bedouin tribes with one unchangeable factor inherited through generations: Pride of a Culture.. In recent years, rapid development has seen the country become a hub for tourism, industry, business and a thriving artistic community, particularly in Dubai.
The Dubai art scene has seen a rapid development in recent years, with the establishment of various artist communities & groups and art precincts in particular, the Dubai Financial Centre Galleries precinct and the Al Quoz warehouse gallery precinct. Art Dubai & Abu Dhabi are now major annual events on the international art fair circuit.
