Art lovers, this one’s for you…
Art fans, we hope you’re excited because art season has officially returned. And we already have some amazing art festivals in Dubai just around the corner that we just can’t wait for.
Here are all the upcoming art festivals in Dubai to look forward to in 2024
Sikka Art and Design Festival
When: February 23 to March 3, 2024
Where: Al Shindagha Historic Neighbourhood
A visit to Old Dubai is always worth it, but during art season, the historical neighbourhood gets a lot more colourful, thanks to the Sikka Art and Design Festival. Now in its 12th edition, the upcoming festival will feature an array of aspiring UAE and regional talents, including art installations, murals, photography, live performances, film screenings, music, panels, fashion and jewellery, workshops, local food and beverage concepts and more. Art fans can get lost while exploring the many lanes of the open art museum and the different houses. Make sure you take your time, as you’ll never know which magnificent work of art you will find hiding in a corner or in an alleyway (see picture above). In past editions, the popular art festival took place at Al Fahidi, but for this edition, it is shifting a few meters away to the Al Shindagha Historic Neighbourhood. The best news? Entry is free.
