To boost the cultural and artistic scene in Ajman and support emerging talents, the Ajman Department of Tourism Development launched the 1st edition of the “Ayah Art Exhibition” at the Bahi Ajman Palace Hotel with the participation of more than 36 artists. The exhibition aims to refine Ajman’s artistic scene during the holy month of Ramadan and introduce its Islamic values and Arabic traditions in the form of arts to the public.
The exhibition which launched on the 18th of March and continues until the 26th of April, exhibits a collection of Islamic paintings and artworks of renown artists from India, Philippines, Algeria, Pakistan, Morocco, Egypt, and Iran.
The exhibition aims to introduce religious arts, mainly Islamic, by offering a unique experience to the audience which promotes Ajman as a leading destination for arts and culture, as well as supporting artists by building a sustainable partnership with them to showcase their creative artworks.
While it is part of the Ramadan festivities throughout the emirate, the exhibition offers its visitors the chance to discover and experience various Islamic arts which reflects Ajman’s vision to promote these artworks as a universal expressive language.
The Ayah Art Exhibition also offers the artists an exclusive platform to exhibit the diverse art schools they represent, which enhances Ajman’s position as a unique forum for existing and new talents.
