From its inception as a celebration of the creativity that finds its home in Al Quoz, an industrial area in the heart of Dubai, Quoz Arts Fest has become a mainstay on the annual Dubai calendar. The early iterations of the event sought to introduce local audiences to creative concepts and create connections in the neighborhood by removing the barrier of access. Over the years, the diverse and robust program has welcomed local, regional and international talents for activations that have ranged from a celebration of dance and performance to highlighting sustainability efforts in the UAE. Year on year, the program and the audience have grown together, with programming that targets the broad range of demographics that make the UAE unique. The 2020 edition of the fair welcomed 40,000 visitors over two days and offered close to 200 activations.
