Mercato is set to host an inspiring fortnight of “Art Fiesta” as part of activities during the ongoing Dubai Summer Surprises. Starting from 5th July until the 18th July, the mall will host an array of art exhibitions, imaginative art workshops and shows. Art Fiesta will be officially inaugurated by Khulood Al Thani, Marketing Director of DSF Office.
The art focus kicks off with a painting exhibition entitled “Harmony” by the talented artist Rupali Rao. The exhibition starts on 5th July and runs daily until 18th July at the fountain area in Mercato. This Dubai-based artist will bring colour and excitement into the mall with her beautiful multi-coloured pieces inspired by Dubai’s distinctive locations. The exhibition will be open to the public free of charge during mall hours.
“The DSF Office lays significant emphasis on organizing, hosting, and supporting events related to art and Art Fiesta is one of the numerous art highlights that DSS visitors can experience this summer. Such events not only add an element of entertainment to the DSS itinerary but provide a platform for artists to showcase their works. This is very much part of the DSF Office’s efforts in promoting and supporting art initiatives,” said Khulood Al Thani.
Daily art work shops will also be held on the first floor near the food court. From 11am to 1pm children can participate in all kinds of very interesting creative activities assisted by the artist Rupali Roa - from pastel sketching and air painting to clay modeling, group painting and painting to the beat of music, called “Dancing Fingers”. Then between 2pm & 4pm the Susan Walpole drawing & colouring competitions will be held for all children, with wonderful prizes to be won! Prize winners will be given the chance to name the newly designed Susan Walpole camel and what's more - if you hand in your competition entry at the Susan Walpole store, you will receive a discount on camel soft toys.
Throughout the “Art Fiesta” in Mercato, the family fun will continue even more shows and of course the chance to win a Mercedes Benz CLK, a luxury holiday for four to Cyprus or cash prizes up to Dhs5 million when spending in any outlet in the mall.
