Dubai Culture

For savvy travelers on the lookout for the world’s greatest hotels, Dubai, UAE is a sensational find.  A beautiful location in a tradition of hospitality and luxury, Dubai is one of the most spectacular cities in the world.  With magnificent beaches, fantastic shopping experiences, and a constantly-unrolling urban landscape, there is something for every global traveler.  Once seen as simply a major hub for international business professionals, there is also an enormous cultural scene.  Recent years have seen a lot of growth here, with galleries, live music, and arts festivals all year long.

One of the big pushes for the cultural revolution have come from the interior structures of Dubai.   In March, 2008, Dubai Culture, formerly known as Dubai Culture and Arts Authority, was launched by His Highness Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai.  Conceived as part of the Dubai Strategic Plan 2015, Dubai Culture is a government authority that aims to contribute to Dubai’s cultural rebirth, by building on its reputation as one of the world’s most multicultural cities.

Beginning with the assumption that a lively arts scene helps the place by contributing to public dialogue, public participation in cultural definition, and adding quality to the moments of daily life, Dubai Culture recognizes that art makes for a healthy community, economically and socially.  A public who participates in an active art scene is more inspired and educated, and these gifts influence all other realms of social influence.  This visionary idea, and these ideals, are really put to work here in Dubai, who just recently sponsored a fashion show featuring designers with special needs.  The result was a stylish and classy evening that highlighted the best and the most elegant of Dubai culture, and also promoted a social cause that helps to elevate an under-represented demographic in the public eye, and audiences and participants all reaped the benefits.
