Abu Dhabi Cultural Foundation



Abu Dhabi Cultural Foundation was the United Arab's first multi-purpose community centre.

 

Created to nurture cultural consciousness by the late Sheikh Zayed in 1981, Cultural Foundation reopens in December as a home for contemporary culture and a place for inspiration, intellectual and cultural exchange.

Cultural Foundation comprises

  • Art Gallery
  • Art Studios Programme, an inspiring artistic threshold which provides free artwork production spaces for established UAE artists
  • Artist in Residence Programme, a platform for young dedicated artists to share their experience among each other, participate in mentoring sessions with professionals and to reflect through discussions about artistic topics.
  • The Book Club, a platform which brings book lovers and readers together to discuss, gain new perspectives, exchange and share their experiences and passion for literature on every first Saturday of every month.
  • Cultural Foundation talks programme that will offer the chance for intellectual conversations between speakers (artists, scholars, professors, experts, film makers, novelists…etc.) and audiences from all backgrounds and all ages.
  • Workshops programme designed to foster artistic growth through providing educational and practical opportunities to the public being artists or art enthusiasts, to transform the artists’ experiences and expertise into a physical hand on practices
