This year’s theme underlines DIFC’s commitment to sustainability, using Art Nights as an opportunity to lead the discussion about sustainability in the art world and opening the door for this discussion to continue when the UAE hosts COP28 in 2023.

Supporting Dubai’s art movement and positioning the city as a leading art hub in the region continues to remain important to DIFC. Above, Harmony of Different Voices by Jake Michael Singer.

DIFC Art Nights, advised by Habroosh Art Foundation, will host an array of exciting exhibits by international art galleries and auction houses, such as Opera Gallery and Christie’s, along with live music and entertainment. The above artwork is by Lene Kilde from Norway.

At this DIFC Art Nights, Christie’s will also host an exhibition by Claude & François-Xavier Lalanne, whilst Opera Gallery will be showcasing museum-scale art pieces and offering visitors a tour of the gallery under the theme 'exceptional works from modern masters and contemporary art'.

DIFC Art Nights attract almost 4,000 people each season and hosts artists, art enthusiasts and collectors who represent the development and growth of the art business in the region.

The event will feature live entertainment, as well as provide access to a mix of culinary delights offered by Gault&Millau, Michelin-star restaurants at Gate Village and more than 350 cafes and restaurants located across DIFC.

The event is open to public who can enjoy food and live entertainment while exploring the ever-evolving world of art.
