For the fourth edition of Art Here, Louvre Abu Dhabi has called upon contemporary artists from GCC and North Africa (nationals and residents) working in sculpture and audio-visual installations suitable for outdoor spaces, to become part of its universal story. Louvre Abu Dhabi, in collaboration with Richard Mille, aims to support art practitioners in the region by giving them a central platform for expression in Art Here 2024.
The thematic for this year’s edition is “Awakenings”.
Taking place outdoors and under the dome, Art Here 2024 will afford artists the opportunity to present new commissioned artworks within one of the world’s most extraordinary museum settings.
About Louvre Abu Dhabi
Louvre Abu Dhabi is a new cultural beacon, bringing different cultures together to shine fresh light on the shared stories of humanity.
A pioneering cultural project
The origins of Louvre Abu Dhabi date back to March 2007. The UAE and France formed an unprecedented partnership for cultural exchange, and the highlight of this would be the establishment of Louvre Abu Dhabi on Saadiyat Island. The partnership would combine the UAE’s bold vision of cultural progression and openness, with France’s expertise in the world of art and museums. It would explore the shared themes that reveal and connect humanity.
The result is Louvre Abu Dhabi. It represents the dynamic nature of the contemporary Arab world while celebrating the region’s vibrant multicultural heritage. Agence France-Muséums – 17 of France’s most renowned cultural institutions – coordinates the loan of artworks to this UAE museum and provides management expertise.
