Dubai Design Week

Dubai Culture & Arts Authority and the Art Dubai Group have launched #Dubaiideathon, an initiative that invited proposals responding to the challenges in the creative and cultural sectors caused by the COVID-19 Pandemic.

Across the world, the pandemic has caused a crisis in the creative industries that is largely composed of small businesses and the self-employed. This collective call-to-action aimed to find solutions that can be put into practice to support local cultural industries.

An open call held from April 2-4, welcomed everyone to submit ideas and to work together to address the many challenges and explore new possibilities going forward. Submissions are now being taken through to a series of workshops, to result in well-defined proposals which will then be put to industry experts to help devise strategies to implement.
