THE CULTURE COUNTER - Introducing you to some of the most interesting conversations and debates we have about the arts, from our region and beyond, right here from the heart of The Arts Club Dubai. The first international outpost of the historic London private members’ club, The Arts Club Dubai is located in DIFC’s ICD Brookfield Place. The Arts Club was founded in London in 1863 by men of vision, to be a haven for a community of people all connected by their love for the Arts. It has evolved to become a vibrant hub for creative and entrepreneurial members, providing an environment in which they can entertain, exchange ideas and participate in a rich cultural programme of events. The Arts Club Dubai shares this same vision, giving Dubai a unique concept for an extraordinary new membership. For more information, please visit www.theartsclub.ae

The Future of Galleries In A Changing Art World
A timely conversation as the region prepares to welcome one of its most significant cultural moments of the year, Abu Dhabi Art. This discussion will explore how the contemporary art landscape is being reshaped in an era where collectors build direct relationships with artists and digital platforms redefine access. Art fairs, too, are navigating this transformation — evolving from market hubs into spaces for visibility, exchange, and connection.
Moderated by Suzy Sikorski, Founder of MidEast Art, and featuring Sunny Rahbar, Co-founder of The Third Line, Amina Debbiche, Co-founder of The Open Crate, artist Chafa Ghaddar and Mohammed Afkhami, Art Collector, this discussion will examine how institutions are adapting to a rapidly changing ecosystem.
