The Dubai International Financial Centre (DIFC) is hosting a series of talks and discussions on the importance of art in the corporate realm in a conference titled 'Art Patronage in the Business Age'.
As part of Art Dubai’s Global Art Forum, the address, given by His Excellency Dr Omar Bin Sulaiman, Governor of the DIFC and Member of the Board and Managing Director of the Dubai Culture and Arts Authority, will aim to encourage and support the region’s artists by calling on corporations to play a more active role in promoting the arts.
“Since our very inception, the DIFC has adopted a two-pronged strategy to promote the city and itself as one in the global chain of hubs for both finance and the art and culture. And we believe that as we have been named the fastest emerging global financial centre by no less than the City of London, similarly we are emerging with no less speed on the global world of art,” said Dr Omar Bin Sulaiman, governor of the DIFC and member of the board and managing director of the Dubai Culture and Arts Authority.
