Tis the season of art in Dubai.
Last month, we had Dubai Canvas take over La Mer with gorgeous public art installations, this month Art Dubai comes to gather international artists, collectors and art professionals, and yesterday the annual Sikka Art Fair was inaugurated by none other than Her Highness Sheikha Latifa bint Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice Chariman of Dubai Culture & Arts Authority.
The Sikka Art Fair is the largest feature of contemporary works from UAE and GCC talent to encourage and inspire young artists to seek different kinds of career paths within the arts and culture industries. This year’s fair also celebrates the Year of Zayed and his legacy.
“In support of the Year of Zayed, the eighth edition of Sikka Art Fair celebrates the legacy of the late Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan” said Sheikha Latifa “As a platform for the arts, Sikka exemplifies Sheikh Zayed’s commitment to tolerance, dialogue and diversity, with a series of initiatives that promote cross-cultural understanding and showcase emerging artists from the UAE and the region.”
This year’s Art Fair will encompass all artistic mediums from a poetry feature by Dubai Poetics, a cinema initiative by LOCO’MOTION Dubai, a fun DIY workshop by the Icon Booth and so much more.
