Public Art Abu Dhabi Biennial

Giant oyster sculptures by the water for Public Art Abu Dhabi Biennial

Public Art Abu Dhabi Biennial returns this autumn to Abu Dhabi and Al Ain, as it will become the backdrop for one of the UAE’s largest free arts and culture event.

Showcasing contemporary artworks in public spaces, the Public Art Abu Dhabi Biennial invites everyone to experience art as part of everyday life.

This second edition is built around the theme Home: A Glossary for a Communal Sense of Place, where it expresses how places, people and shared experiences shape our sense of belonging.

First stop will be in Al Ain on 23 October and then launching in Abu Dhabi on 15 November.

Locations are yet to be announced.
