The UAE-inspired workshop series will be interactive and aims to give People of Determination an opportunity to engage with their artist mentors.
To make Olympics less stressful, people of Determination with intellectual and developmental disabilities in the UAE get added improvement from Special Olympics UAE, as they launch a nationwide Unified Arts workshop series for them.
Comprising of seven workshops guided by seven prominent Emirati artists, the community workshops has been curated by multiple award-winning Emirati artist Sumayyah Al Suwaidi, which will take place once a month starting this January across the seven emirates.
The interactive UAE-inspired workshop series aims to give People of Determination an opportunity to engage with their artist mentors. Groups of eight to ten participating athletes in each emirate will come together and create artwork under the guidance of a participating artist which will be designed by the artist mentor.
As part of the Unified Arts programme, the series aims to increase access to the arts and develops the artistic skills of Special Olympics UAE athletes in an inclusive and creative environment.
Titled Flowers of Hope with Emirati artist Azza Al Qubaisi, Unified Arts has previously collaborated with over 50 People of Determination, their friends, and families, on the first sculpture created in direct collaboration with them in the region
