The Art Cereal: White Cubes in the Desert

Three Gallerists’ Tales on Setting Up their Dubai Spaces.

Three young and ambitious art dealers steer some of Dubai’s leading art galleries, and in so doing, have tremendously contributed to Dubai’s now thriving art community. What knowledge and foresight in a then-nascent cultural arena did they possess? How did they explore, persevere, and create their galleries’ rosters? The Arts Club Dubai brings together The Third Line’s Sunny Rahbar, Green Art Gallery’s Yasmin Atassi and Umer Butt from Grey Noise to share their ups, downs and anecdotes on building their galleries in one of the region’s leading metropolises. This session is moderated by arts consultant, cultural strategist and editor, Myrna Ayad.
