    And it's a mosaic of MENA art

    In the heart of Dubai Design District, the Khawla Art Gallery has transformed its space into a vibrant tapestry of contemporary art. Running until August 31st, the “Summer Collective” celebrates the rich diversity and innovation of MENA artists. 

    Upon entering the gallery, visitors are welcomed into a world where tradition and modernity dance in harmony. The atmosphere is one of quiet elegance, allowing each artwork to command attention and invite contemplation. The "Summer Collective" presents a stunning array of mediums, from the intricate detail of miniature paintings to the bold creativity of up-cycled art, the vivid strokes of oil and acrylic masterpieces, the elegant flow of calligraphy, and the expressive depth of charcoal drawings. Each piece is carefully selected to reflect the region's dynamic artistic landscape.

    Curated by Rayan Imad Hakki, whose passion for art is as deep as her roots in the region, the exhibition is a testament to the gallery's commitment to cultivating a deeper appreciation for MENA art. Her vision is clear: to create a platform where the past meets the present, where cultural heritage is reinterpreted through a contemporary lens.

    Khawla Art Gallery, founded by Her Highness Sheikha Khawla Bint Ahmed Bin Khalifa Al Suwaidi, has established itself as a beacon of artistic excellence in the region. 

    The exhibition is designed to engage the senses and the intellect. Every piece on display is a conversation between the artist and the viewer, inviting you to explore themes of identity, heritage, and social change. The fluidity of calligraphy, the boldness of acrylics, the textures of charcoal, and the innovative spirit of up-cycled materials all come together to create a narrative that is as diverse as it is cohesive.

    For those seeking an immersive cultural experience, “Summer Collective” offers a curated experience where every piece tells a story and every visit leaves you with a lasting impression. 

    Don’t miss the chance to be part of this extraordinary journey. Visit Khawla Art Gallery at Building 11, Dubai Design District, and discover the essence of contemporary MENA art.
