Abu Dhabi Art organised by Abu Dhabi Tourism & Culture Authority is an annual platform for modern and contemporary art and design to be held from 7-10 November, 2012.
Martin Scott, Chief Marketing Officer at ADCB said of the partnership: "ADCB is committed to supporting worthy initiatives that enrich the local community and encourage UAE Nationals to realise their ambitions. The Wings Project brings together young talented Emirati artists and offers them a chance to have their work displayed prominently during Abu Dhabi Art. The government has invested heavily in developing the artistic and cultural landscape in Abu Dhabi and we firmly believe that lending support to young artists and raising the profile of their work will in turn promote Abu Dhabi as a rich cultural destination. We would like to take this opportunity to thank the organizers for great work in this space."
“Abu Dhabi Art is a global platform attracting key players from the international arts community. For us, it’s an important part of our mission to open doors and encourage often young, emerging Emirati artists and designers to showcase their work,” said Rita Aoun Abdo, title? Abu Dhabi Tourism & Culture Authority.
