Alumni meet-up at Art Dubai 2025

Saturday 19 April 2025
3pm - 6pm
Madinat Jumeirah, Jumeirah Beach Road, Al Sufouh 1, Dubai, United Arab Emirates

Connect with your fellow UAL graduates living in Dubai at this group visit to Art Dubai 2025. This is the second meet-up of the newly formed Dubai alumni group, organised by Rowan Elatrache.

Message from Rowan:

“It was great connecting with UAL alumni and learning about everyone's different career paths. From those who have ventured into the worlds of art and design to others who pursued a career in the fashion industry.
“We all bonded over the need to be surrounded by like-minded people and attend design and art exhibitions together. That’s why this next event is a visit to Art Dubai - an art fair that brings over 100 galleries from more than 50 cities, showcasing the best in contemporary and modern art. It’s an amazing opportunity to explore inspiring works, network and experience the global art scene.”

There’s a 2-step booking process for this event:

  1. Let us know that you’re joining this meet-up by booking a ticket on Eventbrite.
  2. This meet-up is at Art Dubai 2025, which is a ticketed event. You’ll need to buy a day-pass to enter the art fair. Purchase a ticket online.
