Packing out Dubai’s creative calendar in signature style, Hotel Indigo Dubai Downtown is set to inspire countless minds over the next few weeks. Filling April with artistic discovery, thought-provoking discussions, and cultural celebrations, the vibrant hotel continues to transcend the lines between art, design, and everyday life.
17-20 April: The quest for this year’s resident artist/exhibitor begins at World Art Dubai
As part of Hotel Indigo Dubai Downtown’s ongoing partnership with World Art Dubai, everyone from guests to galleries taking part in the event enjoy a 25% discount on rooms and F&B. And the most exciting part? World Art Dubai’s most outstanding artist stands the chance of receiving an exclusive exhibition or residency program opportunity at Hotel Indigo Dubai Downtown later this year. In 2024, Tokyo-based Rikka Gallery received the accolade, going on to exhibit at the hotel.
22 April: Talking “Sustainability in Art & Fashion” on Earth Day
Gathering eco-conscious minds of all ages for Earth Day, Hotel Indigo Dubai Downtown is marking the occasion with a panel discussion and sustainability exhibition. The panel features Dubai British School Jumeirah Park’s Sustainability Expert Conor O’Sullivan, sculptor and artist Marita Setas Ferro, digital wardrobe founder Amina Musaeva, and speakers from sustainable fashion concept stores.
Moderated by Pierette Yammine - founder of Savoir Arabia, the discussion will delve into a mix of pressing topics from how sustainability is reshaping the world of art and fashion, the use of recycled materials in these sectors, the impact of (and solutions to) clothing consumption, and making sustainable fashion more accessible.
Leaving attendees with a final dose of inspiration, the event will conclude with an art exhibition, showcasing sustainable art pieces crafted from repurposed materials.
