Majid Bin Mohammed Tours ’Dubai Outdoor Art Project’
His Highness Sheikh Majid Bin Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Chairman of the Dubai Culture & Arts Authority (Dubai Culture), the Emirate’s dedicated Authority for culture, arts, and heritage, toured The Walk at JBR to view the various works under the fourth ‘Dubai Outdoor Art Project.’
Thirty UAE-based artists commissioned by Dubai Culture and Xpoze, the Idea Factory run by Emirati women, in collaboration with Dubai Properties Group (DPG), have transformed the vases, staircases, benches, and floor space of The Walk at JBR, under the theme ‘The City is Your Canvas.’
Artists have been working at The Walk in Jumeirah Beach Residence on their artworks and have used pots, staircases, bridges, benches, and walls as canvases to express their creativity, giving residents, visitors and tourists an insight into their artistic process and an opportunity to see live art creations.
In addition to creating over 40 artworks, participating artists held workshops and gave visitors, including children and families, the opportunity to take part in creating public art pieces, such as sculptures, light calligraphy and paintings.
Dubai Culture is committed to driving the Emirate’s development as an influential driver of culture and the arts in the region, by building a strong creative environment, nurturing and developing talents as well as strengthening artistic community engagement, through its expanded arts services.
