Three-headed Shadow Horses at DIFC Art Nights.

Dubai International Financial Centre (DIFC) has announced the fourth edition of the DIFC Sculpture Park, themed Enduring Forms.

Open to the public from November 26, the open-air gallery will feature over 50 artworks by 27 artists, inviting visitors to explore how art begins with raw materials and leaves an enduring trace. As part of the launch, DIFC, in collaboration with Dubai Cares, will also deliver on the commitment made through the Sculpting Futures initiative introduced during the third edition of DIFC Sculpture Park.

The enterprise features a unique sculpture created by artists Sawsan Al Bahar and Bahar Al Bahar in partnership with Firetti Contemporary gallery. The sculpture represents the power of a wider initiative, which has been created by DIFC and Dubai Cares. The initiative has helped to harness the DIFC corporate community to raise Dhs1,000,000 to support the development of youth skills globally across Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Mathematics (STEAM). Contributors’ names will be permanently carved onto the sculpture, which will initially be displayed under the DIFC Gate Building, before being relocated to DIFC Square for permanent installation on the Sculpting Futures project's completion in 2026.
