Art Night in Dubai on 18th March 2013
Dubai will have a double edition of Art Night happening on Monday, 18th January, where two different venues, DIFC Gate Village and Alserkal Avenue, will host gallery openings on the night.
It's a great opportunity to go gallery hopping to enjoy some good art (or make fun of some bad art like I do with my friends). I won't be able to go to both venues, so I'm planning to spend time at Alserkal Avenue and looking forward to a fun art night there.
I've listed some of the must see exhibitions in both venues, but you can find the full line up of exhibitions via the following links:
