Visitors can expect a sensory overload as they explore the paved alleys of Old Dubai.
Dubai is known for its skyline and fast-paced lifestyle, but it’s also a thriving hub for the arts. One event that has been at the forefront of celebrating local creative talent is the Sikka Arts Festival, which has become a highlight of the Dubai Art Season each year.
This year, Sikka Art & Design Festival is gearing up to celebrate 13 years of creativity and inspiration. Taking place from 31 January to 9 February at Al Shindagha, the venue will once again be adorned with works that speak to the soul, offering a truly heart-touching experience for all attendees.
Sikka Arts Festival promises a range of activities, including exhibitions, installations, poetry nights, musical performances, workshops, and thought-provoking films. Interactive sessions will allow attendees to engage with the artists and stay connected with the pulse of Dubai’s vibrant cultural scene.
‘Sikka’, which translates to alleyway, perfectly encapsulates the festival’s essence. It serves as a launchpad for many Emirati and UAE-based artists. The festival’s role in nurturing and promoting local creativity is evident in its decade-long journey. Centred initially around visual arts and design, Sikka has embraced a multidisciplinary approach. Film screenings, musical performances, talks, and workshops now share the stage with traditional art exhibitions.
So mark your calendars from 31 January to 9 February, and immerse yourself in the magic of the Sikka Arts Festival.
