On April 10, during DIFC Art Night, the spotlight will turn to broader issues at the intersection of creativity and social progress.
A conference titled ‘From Finance to Sustainable Impact’ will feature panel discussions on women’s roles in the creative economy, covering themes such as financial literacy, sustainable investment, and the use of art to drive social change.
The event will conclude on April 11 with an award ceremony at the One&Only Royal Mirage, honoring the contributions of the participating artists.
