Dubai International Financial Centre (DIFC), one of Dubai's most sought-after lifestyle destinations, is transforming into an open-air art gallery for the second year running, bringing back its highly successful DIFC Sculpture Park. The theme for this edition is, “Tales Under the Gate”, and the park will remain open to public from 7 February until 30 September 2023.
DIFC Sculpture Park provides an opportunity to get up close and personal with works of extraordinary artists from different countries and art movements. The DIFC Sculpture Park pushes the boundaries with the displayed artworks by encouraging a variety of mediums – including traditional sculptures and paintings through to video art. It also provides a global platform to new and upcoming artists to share their creativity with a wider audience. In addition, DIFC is already home to several leading galleries and art houses from around the world and the DIFC Sculpture Park is an innovative way to utilise its unique architecture and grounds as a public art space.
“Over the years, DIFC has established itself as a leading art hub, and bringing back the DIFC Sculpture Park for a second year reaffirms our commitment to supporting Dubai’s art and culture vision,” says Arif Amiri, CEO of DIFC Authority. “The park allows the public to experience both art and the landscape of DIFC in an immersive and unique way. DIFC Sculpture Park, under the theme of ‘Tales Under the Gate’ invites audiences to step outside of their day-to-day boundaries and open their minds to other realities and perceptions.”
During the event, well-established galleries, such as Firetti Contemporary, AWC Gallery, Leila Heller Gallery, Opera Gallery, Oblong Gallery, Belvedere Art Space and Zieta Studio, as well as independent artists will showcase their works.
