Liwa Art Hub

Abu Dhabi - United Arab Emirates

With a dynamic group of artists from the UAE and overseas, the Art Hub provides artists with a residency program and also encourages Emirati artists to participate in similar programs overseas. Set amongst the sand dunes on the edge of the Empty Quarter, the largest continuous sand dune desert in the world, I can imagine that artists gather inspiration from the contrasting shadows and constantly shifting sand. For visitors staying at Qasr Al Sarab, it’s easy to pop in on this program while spending a morning in the oasis town of Liwa. Liwa is also known for its date production.
