ArtDayME: Sheikha Latifa bint Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Chairperson of Dubai Culture and Arts Authority, attended the official opening of House of Arts at Expo City Dubai.

The event marked a new chapter in Expo City Dubai’s cultural development, inaugurating House of Arts as a new multidisciplinary space dedicated to championing art from UAE and the wider region and making it accessible to all.

Attended by dignitaries, artists and cultural leaders, the opening event took place in the House of Arts’ striking new premises, the award-winning structure formerly known as the Morrocco Pavilion, repurposed and refurnished specifically to host the House of Arts. The building was also recently nominated for the prestigious Aga Khan award and spans seven floors of exhibition, workshop, and programming space.

During her tour of the exhibition halls and galleries of House of Art’s inaugural show, titled ‘Interwoven,’ Sheikha Latifa viewed a collection of creative works presented by 18 artists from the UAE, the GCC, and across the Arab world. She praised the originality of their ideas and the depth of their perspectives, which reflect their ambition and ability to enrich the local cultural landscape. 

House of Arts is part of the strategic partnership between Dubai Culture and Expo City Dubai, reflecting their ongoing collaboration to strengthen Dubai’s position as a global hub for creativity and innovation.
