Ramadan, the month of blessings, reflection and togetherness, provided an opportunity for Funun Arts Group to create meaningful connections.

Creativity and community celebrated by Funun Arts Group at Daftar DIFC

In the spirit of giving, and collaborating with Daftar Restaurant with the support of AGH Events, the arts body organised Cherish, an event that blended art and community engagement (March 21). "Now in its 6th edition, Cherish continues to uphold Funun Arts Group's vision of giving back to society," said Shiba Khan, Funun Arts Group co-founder. This year, 12 students from SNF Development Center teamed with 12 talented artists from Funun Arts Group to co-create 12 artworks, in a celebration of creativity and inclusivity.

Vibrant colours and expressive strokes were the hallmarks of the art pieces created; they symbolised happiness, unity, and spoke of the power of art to bring hearts closer together. The event conjoined not only artists and students, but also a wider community that believed in the transformative power of art. Each artwork stood as a testament to the collaboration of young talents and experienced artists; it was a showcase of imagination, dedication, skill and outreach. As the day progressed, artists and students immersed themselves in the creative process, sharing ideas, laughter, and inspiration. Shiba Khan along with Farah Khan, co-founder of Funun Arts Group, talked about their relationship to the initiative.
