ISOAG enhances art season with exhibition and legacy book launch

After opening its doors to a spectacular celebration of creativity recently through its annual exhibition in its Dubai spaces, the International Studio of Art & Galleries (ISOAG) formally launched its publication titled Art Impact at the Sharjah International Book Fair.

The book depicts the creative journeys of nearly 50 artists who took part in the exhibition. Hosted at ISOAG's Al Safa studio, the exhibition drew art lovers, collectors, cultural critics and dignitaries to witness the convergence of enthusiasm, imagination and talent. Artists, patrons and culture professionals from across the UAE and beyond got together, "affirming ISOAG's position as one of the region's most dynamic cultural institutions," said Ruxeena Musthafa, ISOAG Founder and Creative Director. She is at the helm of ISOAG artistic endeavours, along with Managing Director Najah Musthafa. Their shared vision shapes ISOAG as a hub of purposeful art making.

According to the duo, art without purpose is futile. With a keen eye on publicising and promoting art in the larger community, they take great pains to draw in families to familiarise them with the social glue of art. Their leadership has cultivated an ecosystem that celebrates both established and emerging talent - children to adult art makers - ensuring that art is a living dialogue and organic link between traditional culture and futuristic change. The exhibition pulsed with creative energy, as over 50 artists presented their works across mediums such as painting, sculpture, photography, and mixed media. Each piece spoke of a story of proud resilience, sharp imagination, sound vision and the irrepressible human spirit that seeks beauty.
