February 2025: Winters is art season in the UAE

We aspire to be a free-to-read, share, download, and even print (use your home printer and recycle: a paper printed on the front can still be used!) magazine for all those seeking a moment with arts.

Winter in the UAE is a beautiful time, not only because we get to experience nature at its best but also because the country devotes itself to bringing in more arts in all forms during this time. From concerts to theatrical productions, art festivals to workshops, pop-ups, and more, the outdoor spaces become places to hang around and absorb the arts. Be it while attending the Quoz Fest in Alserkal Avenue, Dubai, or engaging with arts at Ras Al Khaimah Art Festival at the Al Jazeera Al Hamra Heritage Village.


There are many invitations and temptations. As goes the joke, every winter, the art calendars get busy with all of us hopping from galleries to shows, which is sometimes overwhelming, too. As you buy the tickets, get the autographs, or even ask for complimentary passes — do yourself a favor, leave your phone behind, at least for a bit, and slowly consume the words, the brush strokes, and the beats, and watch how it teaches you a bit about yourself and the world we live in.


Leaving you with art news from our end, stories over art, is now a Media Partner for the much-looked-forward-to World Art Dubai (WAD), the largest art fair in the MENA region, returning for its 11th edition from 17-20 April 2025 at the Dubai World Trade Centre. WAD will present over 10,000 artworks from more than 400 artists and galleries across 65+ countries, creating an immersive space for discovery and innovation. It’s a big one for us, for it was only in July 2024 that this magazine stemmed from creating a space where anyone who loves creative expression could share their love for various forms of art — theatrical productions, comedy gigs, ornate sculptures, outfits on the runway, dance rehearsals, strokes on canvas, and more. We’ve grown gradually and aim only to connect with more of you from the art fraternity as we go along. And to now be the Media Partners for World Art Dubai only makes us happier!
