Dubai Culture and Dubai Municipality Join Forces to Transform Dubai into an Open-Air Art Gallery

In a significant step towards enhancing Dubai's visual identity, the Dubai Culture and Arts Authority (Dubai Culture) and Dubai Municipality have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU). This collaboration aims to make art more accessible to residents and visitors, transforming the city into an open-air art gallery.

The MoU overseen by Dubai Municipality will be instrumental in selecting sites for annual art projects. Dubai Culture will determine the number of these projects, ensuring a diverse and vibrant artistic landscape. Dubai Municipality will also oversee site selection and coordination with relevant authorities for necessary permits.

The initiative supports Dubai's vision of sustainable, people-centric urban development. Eng. Marwan Ahmed bin Ghalita, Acting Director General of Dubai Municipality, emphasized the importance of integrating art into urban development, stating, "This collaboration reinforces Dubai's reputation as a vibrant, globally recognized destination for art and culture."

Hala Badri, Director General of Dubai Culture, had previously emphasized the initiative's role in fostering innovation and supporting the creative economy. She reiterated her stance, stating, "This collaboration aligns with Dubai's goal to transform into an open-air art gallery."

The MoU also aims to exchange best practices to identify suitable locations for public art installations. This shared commitment to streamlining communication for art projects will further strengthen the collaboration between Dubai Culture and Dubai Municipality.

The MoU is in line with the Dubai 2040 Urban Master Plan, which seeks to create a city that is a model for sustainable urban development. This initiative aligns with the plan's goals, aiming to enhance Dubai's visual identity by integrating artistic experiences into public spaces and residential areas.

While the person responsible for the payment of the annual art projects under the agreement between Dubai Culture and Dubai Municipality is not publicly specified in available sources, the collaboration is expected to bring about a significant transformation in the artistic landscape of Dubai.

This collaboration between Dubai Culture and Dubai Municipality further strengthens their commitment to fostering innovation, supporting the creative economy, and enhancing Dubai's visual identity. As the city continues to evolve, it is clear that art will play a crucial role in shaping its future.
