Art Fusion Night The Art & Creatives Assembly
Two days of art, culture and music. Creative conversations, live performances and real connections, all in the heart of DIFC.
Doors open in
The experience
For two nights, Art Fusion Night turns Fogo de Chão in DIFC into a living gallery and stage. Artists, creatives, industry leaders, organisations and culture lovers come together for art, honest conversations, live performances and connections that carry on long after the night ends.
This is the Dubai chapter of a journey that has already brought creative communities together in Dubai, Houston and East Africa. Expect work you can stand in front of, voices you will want to hear again and people worth knowing.
Who's in the room
What to expect
Both evenings run from 6 PM till late. Come for one night or catch both.
Contemporary art, live painting and creative showcases. Walk the room, meet the artists and see pieces come to life in front of you.
A showcase of diverse talent and sound, from soulful vocals and spoken word to Gulf music.
Real talk on creativity, industry, collaboration and where the opportunities are for creatives right now.
Meet creatives, industry leaders and like minded people in a setting built for conversation, not small talk.
