Abu Dhabi Festival - 26 Nov / 2nd January

Hello

On behalf of the Abu Dhabi Municipality, Trompe L'oeil is organizing the 1^st Annual National Day Festival at the Formal Park on Abu Dhabi's Corniche. The festivities will commence November 26th, on the occasion of Eid Al Adha, and will go on until January 2nd 2009.

38 years of Unity represented by 38 days of celebration.

The theme of this celebration is centered around art, culture, music and local heritage. The objective is to serve the community by offering a family-oriented environment that includes musical entertainment, art exhibits, kids activities and many more exciting animations.

The park will be divided into different areas: The Souk area including kiosks and tents selling handicrafts products; The Art area including art exhibitions and an Art Souk; The Stage where Eid Al Adha and National Day celebrations will take place; The kids' games and activities area; The teenagers' corner and of course the food courts including restaurants and cafes offering a variety of cuisines.

The Eid Al Adha and National day celebrations will be animated by well renowned local artists in an outstanding show of light, sound  and images portraying the history of Abu Dhabi.  These celebrations will be attended by VIPs, and will be open to the public.

In addition to the above, various daily performances and animations will take place targeting children and adults -such as jugglers, clowns, mimes, live bands and musicians etc... .

Art Souq
This area is designed to create a platform for emerging artists (painters, photographers, sculptors, installation artists etc.) whereby they may display their artworks and gain substantial exposure. As this will be an annual event, we look forward to creating a venue that will become a reference point that will continue to attract the many emerging artists and give them the exposure they rightfully deserve.

Please find attached the overall Formal Park layout.  Please refer to the icon called "Exhibition Tent" to see where the Art Souq is located on the plan.
Specifically the Art Souq tent is an octagonal shape with 7 walls for display (excluding the entrance and emergency exits). 
Each display wall is 6.7m wide x 2.8m high.
This translates to a total wall display area of about 126sqm.

Total tent display area (bird's eye view): 220sqm

We also encourage artists to set up around the tent itself and paint 'live', which creates an interactive art experience with the visitors.

Art will be displayed either on easels or on hanging systems (according to the artist's preference)

I am happy to receive any calls should they wish to contact me directly.

Warm regards,

Sandra Haddad
