“Over the next few years, I can clearly see the UAE becoming the region’s biggest cultural hub and one of the world’s most preferred destinations.”

His Highness Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum

Promoting Dubai’s cultural landscape

Dubai Culture supports and inspires local and international creative talent, ensuring that art and creativity can be practiced and enjoyed by anyone, anywhere.

It empowers the growth of Dubai’s creative sector as a key contributor to the emirate’s economic growth and position on the global cultural map. Finally, it celebrates and safeguards Dubai’s cultural heritage, with the overarching aim of positioning the emirate as a global center for culture, an incubator for creativity and a thriving hub for talent.
The key strategic pillars underpin the Authority’s mandated role as a policymaker and planner, regulator, enabler and operator – one that seeks to facilitate and promote the development and sustainability of the city’s cultural ecosystem and creative economy.
