When Art Fusion Night returns to DIFC on 20 and 21 November 2026, the people in the room will matter as much as the work on the walls. The Art & Creatives Assembly at Fogo de Chão, Central Park Towers, brings together visual artists, a host, a moderator, panelists and performers across two evenings.
A host, a moderator and a live podcast
The assembly will be hosted by MKO, a singer, songwriter and creative entrepreneur. Alongside MKO, Romeo Coston, a professional coach, speaker and strategist, will moderate the panel and host a special live edition of his Project W.I.R.E. podcast at the event.
The panel brings perspectives from music, creative practice and professional life. Panelists listed on the event page include Tayeb Santo, Zarooni and Albert M. Carter. Their conversations will look at the experiences, challenges and opportunities shaping today’s creative industries, with a focus on authenticity, collaboration and sustainable creative growth.
The artists on show
The exhibition gathers artists working across painting, mixed media, portraiture and contemporary expression, reflecting a wide range of cultural perspectives. Artists featured on the event page include Cristina Gabriela, DARTDDY K, Sabrina Terence, Chinedu Wisdom, King Brown, HK Locks, Huda Afyoun, Jan D’Sa, Kelani Fatai, Rianna Gabriel and Usman Semiu Alvin.
Visitors can discover their work, meet the artists in person and explore selected pieces through private viewings.
On stage: music and spoken word
Both evenings include live performances that bring music, poetry and contemporary performance together, from soulful vocals to spoken word storytelling. Performers listed include singers Stacia Rae, Maxime Baptiste and Polina QZ, and poet and spoken word artist Mohamoud Ali. The performances are designed to sit alongside the visual art, so the evening moves between looking, listening and talking.
The organisers promise captivating artwork, live performances, creative conversations and memorable moments across both nights.
