We Emerge Stronger Public Art Commission, Dubai

ARM Holding and Art Dubai have announced an open call for a new permanent public art commission in Dubai. The commission, titled We Emerge Stronger, will be installed at Huna Sculpture Park at H Residence. Artists are invited to propose a site-specific outdoor work that responds to the idea of resilience, renewal and shared strength. The phrase takes its name from words used by President Sheikh Mohamed.

The project is open to regional and international artists who live in the UAE, as well as artist-gallery partnerships. Applicants must have previous experience working on permanent or large-scale outdoor installations. Submissions opened on June 17 and close on July 25, and the artist brief and submission portal are available on Art Dubai's website.

Artists are asked to consider material, form, scale, light and public interaction in their proposals. Submissions will be assessed on curatorial fit, site response, artistic strength, public presence and technical feasibility. Huna Sculpture Park opened at H Residence on Jumeirah Road during Art Dubai in March 2024, and its line-up has included works by Rana Begum, Shaikha Al Mazrou, Pablo Reinoso, Khalid Al Banna, Nadim Karam, Sara Naim and Jacob Dahlgren, whose permanent work Early One Morning was added in 2025.
