Abu Dhabi Arts Society Connecting Cultures through the Arts The Abu Dhabi Arts Society (ADAS), founded by Dr. Hamed Al Suwaidi in May 2013, fosters inclusivity in the local arts community and build bridges between cultural organisations from Abu Dhabi to the world. Encompassing visual arts, poetry and music, ADAS aims to shine a light on traditional and emerging artists from the region and bring together a community of artists, collectors, scholars, and enthusiasts for private events, social gatherings and openings. The ADAS aims to broaden the reach of these events in order to encourage a warm atmosphere based on mutual appreciation and engage arts enthusiasts from one generation to the next. The interests of the ADAS are focused on exploring and understanding global cultures with a great interest in world history, especially that of the Emirate of Abu Dhabi and The United Arab Emirates as a whole. As chairman of the Abu Dhabi Arts Foundation, Dr. Al Suwaidi was influenced by his upbringing in an environment full of thought and creativity and a natural at appreciating the arts. The Abu Dhabi Arts Society is open to partnering and collaborating with various industries such as hospitality, aviation and media partners to highlight the importance of culture and expression of art that represent the values of Abu Dhabi and the United Arab Emirates as a whole. We look for talented people from the community, young arts representatives, who exhibit an interest and talent for art.
