The UAE is set to participate in an Arab cultural event in Marrakech from September 13 to 16.
Moroccan artist Abdul Latif Zain, supervisor of the Arab Salon of Contemporary Art, said the UAE’s participation confirms its support for cultural and artistic expression.
Zain said his meetings with senior UAE officials overseeing culture and fine arts initiatives had made him aware of their great interest in Arab artistic expression. “The UAE’s efforts in promoting the show’s success are appreciated,” he said.
The Marrakech art show aims to provide an arena for cultural openness, communication and exchange between artists of different affiliations and artistic expressions.
The technical committee of the event includes Emirati artists Dr Najat Makki and Abdul Kader Al Rais besides experts from several other countries.
