Sikka Art Fair, an artist-led fair of fully commissioned works by the Dubai Culture and Arts Authority, Dubai Culture, is hosting an impressive line-up of 50 Emirati and UAE-based artists, in addition to three collectives and two arts initiatives for its fifth edition to be held from March 14 to 24, 2015.

Bringing arts to the public through citywide programmes that include visual arts projects, music, live performances, video art and workshops, Sikka also marks the formal start of the second Dubai Art Season, the umbrella arts initiative by Dubai Culture that also includes Art Dubai and Design Days Dubai, among other events.

His contribution to the Emirati art scene has expanded from producing pioneering art to advocating the progression of Emirati artists.
