ArtDayME: Abu Dhabi Art has unveiled an extraordinary trio of artists selected for this year’s Beyond: Emerging Artists programme, a platform dedicated to elevating fresh voices in UAE’s creative landscape.

Curated by the visionary Lorenzo Fiaschi, co-founder of Galleria Continua, this year’s programme promises an evocative journey through new works by Fatma Al Ali, Dina Nazmi Khorchid, and Simrin Mehra Agarwal.

About Beyond Emerging Artists:

An annual initiative that provides three emerging artists in the UAE with a platform from which to develop their practice and realise ambitious art projects. The selected artists undertake a year-long programme created by a guest curator each year with critical feedback and support from the curator. The programmme leads toward the realisation of a group exhibition for the Abu Dhabi Art Fair in November. The works remain on exhibition to the public for several months in Abu Dhabi beyond the fair dates and are then exhibited internationally.

Supported by Friends of Abu Dhabi Art since 2021.

About Beyond Emerging Artists 2024:

The three selected artists were chosen following an open call announced at the start of the year. The shortlisted proposals were reviewed by Abu Dhabi Art, by Galleria Continua and in consultation with Friends of Abu Dhabi Art, a group of individuals who are actively committed to supporting art and culture in the emirate and who support the BEA programme each year.
