One of the key objectives of the guide is to create opportunities for the local community and visitors to engage with art and encourage the widespread participation of the public in art events, activities and artistic workshops. This aligns with the leadership’s vision to establish Dubai as the world’s best city to live work and visit. Additionally, the guide aims to raise the visibility of art cafes and art studios by inspiring the public to explore these venues and partake in artistic expression.

The museums and galleries listed in the guide provide a glimpse into Dubai's rich artistic heritage and its vibrant present-day art scene.
