COMMUNITY PROJECT | ABU DHABI ART
Since 2018, Abu Dhabi Art has invited Community Partners to submit booth proposals following a common theme, to lift the overall level of presentations to a more consistent standard.
In 2024, Abu Dhabi Art started playing a pivotal role in transforming the exhibition space with a guest producer for community partners into a meeting ground for collaboration.
2025 Community Project
This year, Abu Dhabi Music & Arts Foundation (ADMAF) has been invited to transform the Community Partners exhibition space into a dynamic platform for artistic and cultural dialogue, reflecting the spirit of the "Year of Community." To bring this vision to life, ADMAF is collaborating with Salasil—a future-focused curatorial studio rooted in care, research, and experimentation, and committed to nurturing collaboration between curators, artists, and audiences.
2024 Community Project
The Community Project section, produced by the House of Artisans, honors the artisans and their craftsmanship. This experience includes images capturing hand movements during crafting and stories shared by the artisans through written scripts, highlighting the theme: Craft as a Language.
2023 Community Project
“Into The Horizon" is a collaborative installation that not only serves as a cultural bridge for all participating Community Partners but also fosters a sense of unity and connection within the community through its interactive artwork. By blending art and craft,this installation provides an immersive experience for visitors, inviting them to actively engage with the artwork that is inspired by the profound beauty of the natural landscape that surrounds the UAE.
