The Art Scene


As Abu Dhabi continues to make efforts towards becoming the Cultural Capital of the region and even the world, there are a number of events that center around the arts within the city.

However, one major flaw in the art scene is that there is very little support for the local artists – mainly those who are not Emirati or Arab. We have a number of expat artists in the city from all over the world and yet there seems to be very little talked about in terms of their work. Hopefully, a stronger call for more support and exposure will rectify this in the future.

In the meantime, you can find out about what’s going on in the art world in these places:
