Shows Description:
The Khaleeji Art Museum, in collaboration with Dubai Festival City, reimagined public engagement with Gulf art by transforming cityscapes into vibrant digital galleries. Through large-scale projections on the iconic Imagine screen, contemporary Khaleeji artworks lit up the night, offering captivating, immersive experiences. This unique initiative brought regional creativity to wider audiences outside conventional museum spaces, celebrating the spirit, resilience, and evolving identity of the Gulf. The collaboration—which resulted in a total of ten digital shows, each with a different theme— not only highlighted the richness of Khaleeji artistic expression but also fostered a deeper cultural connection between artists and the public in a bold, accessible, and visually striking format.
