Artist In Residence

 

WAD Artist-in-Residence Programme

Launched in 2023, the WAD Artist-in-Residence programme is a unique initiative designed to support both international and local artists. It offers them the opportunity to immerse themselves in the vibrant culture of Dubai while creating original artworks for participating hotels. This programme not only fosters creativity but also allows artists to showcase their work to new audiences.

Success Stories

2024

Artist Alex Lanier completed his residency last September, with his artwork proudly showcased at the 25Hours Hotel Dubai.

 

“This programme played a big role in building confidence and independence for artists looking to grow their careers. They also provide a unique platform for artists to showcase their work to a diverse audience in a new environment.”
