IN CELEBRATION OF THE UAE’S ‘YEAR OF THE FAMILY’

OVERVIEW

As the 2026 season unfolds, the Festival will debut the Arab world’s first dedicated outdoor children’s art biennale. Anchored in the spirit of the UAE’s ‘Year of the Family’, the public programme celebrates values of family ties, unity and shared creativity through the power of the arts.

This pioneering initiative invites children to co-create a variety of artworks with teaching artists using sustainable materials. The resulting pieces will be displayed throughout Umm Al Emarat Park during November 2026.

Featuring creations by local students and an international collaboration with National Gallery Singapore and its leading Children’s Biennale, the Children’s Outdoor Art Biennale includes family sessions, workshops, an interactive guide – all encouraging children and their families to explore art together, fostering creativity, environmental awareness and family bonding.
