Music…performance…art....film…genuine connections.....inspirational experiences.
This edition of Quoz Arts Fest, the region’s biggest annual arts and culture festival, marks a cultural movement led by the homegrown creatives who call Alserkal Avenue and Al Quoz their home. Celebrating the cultural thinkers and makers within music, art, design and performance realms across the UAE and beyond, the 8th edition of Quoz Arts Fest showcases the breadth and depth of creativity across the arts that can be found in Al Quoz.
Organised by Alserkal, we hope you enjoy this two-day festival of live music, contemporary dance performances, art exhibitions, food trucks, outdoor art installations, and film screenings.
Explore Al Quoz this weekend and keep it green - leave your car at home, take part in a sustainable workshop, or explore Al Quoz by foot or by bike.
Follow the fun all weekend at @quozartsfest and tag us with #quozartsfest2020 so we can see how you’ve captured the magic of Quoz Arts Fest.
Create, see, feel, and find your Al Quoz.
