DIFC Art Nights, one of Dubai’s most anticipated cultural events, returns this November to mark its 20th edition. The milestone edition will celebrate a decade of art, creativity and community at Dubai International Financial Centre (DIFC), a key cultural hub in the UAE.
Artists and art galleries are encouraged to be a part of this special edition, 13 to 16 November 2025, when DIFC’s vibrant cityscape gets transformed into an open-air gallery for visual arts, design, music and more.
Submissions are invited from all disciplines of traditional and contemporary art, sculpture and photography to mural and design. DIFC Art Nights will also include interactive workshops, panel discussions and live performances.
Interested parties may send in their portfolios, comprising high-resolution images of artwork, artist resumes and descriptions of artwork by filling in the online available application form difc-art-nights-call. Submissions close on September 15, 2025.
The DIFC Art Committee will review and curate the submissions and choose exceptional pieces of work to be showcased at the four-day festival.
