One of the most famed, accessible and affordable art shows is returning this weekend – say hello to World Art Dubai 2020.
This year the event’s theme ‘Free Your Mind’ is encouraging people to unite through their creativity and escape in art – something very poignant given the current circumstances.
From Thursday, October 8 to Saturday, October 10 at the Dubai World Trade Centre (DWTC), the event will host more than 120 artists and galleries from 25 countries who will showcase a collection of 2,000 pieces of art. The collection of pieces range from $100 to $20,000.
The artists behind these pieces include Emirati artists, fashion designers, photographers and more.
Trixie LohMirmand, the Executive Vice President, Exhibitions & Events Management, DWTC, shared her excitement about this year’s World Art Dubai.
“Art has served as an escape for people all over the world this year,” she said, acknowledging the difficult year. “We will cultivate this energy and enthusiasm through World Art Dubai’s theme of ‘Free Your Mind’ which will connect international artists and stimulate creativity and exploration.
“We are excited to welcome our first overseas participants back to Dubai and look forward to stimulating creative exchanges within the wider community.”
To ensure the safety of all visitors, and in line with government guidelines, a number of measures will be implemented during the show including limiting the number of entries and providing floor stickers to facilitate social distancing, regular disinfection and clearly marked and defined entry and exit areas.
Masks must be worn at all times and temperature checks will be in place.
