Summer Market Schedule
ARTE - Artisans of The Emirates announces Summer Markets Schedule
Visitors can expect to find an excellent variety of arts and crafts stalls offering quality UAE Made products and the freshest gourmet foods
Dubai residents are set to be thoroughly spoiled this summer as ARTE – Artisans of the Emirates – announces their new summer & Ramadan market schedule packed with plenty of events across Dubai. Pick up distinctive pieces of jewellery, fashion, interior products, ceramics, accessories and traditional crafts, by almost 100 artisans at the forefront of their disciplines. Prepare to be tempted! Whether selecting a unique gift for friends and family or browsing for personal pleasure, this exceptional shopping treat will be topped off by meeting the maker and discovering the technique in which they work their magic. Wow your friends by commissioning your own piece or discover a bespoke design service that will make you the envy of the street.
This summer’s ARTE markets will be held on:
Friday, 1st July, 2011 at Festival City Centre (12pm-9pm)
Friday, 8th July, 2011 at Times Square Center (12pm-7pm).
Friday, 22nd July, 2011 at Festival City Centre (12pm-9pm)
This will be followed by our Ramadan Markets held on:

Friday, 26th August, 2011 at Festival City Centre (6pm-11pm)
ARTE seeks to nurture a local handmade economy and environment by organizing and promoting craft markets, offering opportunities for social crafting and creative expression, and educating the public about the personal and commercial value of handcrafting.
Today, ARTE boasts a network of over 2000 artisans, from over 30 different countries, who have benefitted from the safety and crucial opportunity that ARTE offers them to launch their own businesses during the challenging economic environment.
Here is your chance to encourage and support the city's independent creative community. Don’t expect to find mass produced or imported goods here. What you will find are talented artists handpicked for their artistry skills and unique vision offering items you never knew existed and that you may never see again.
About ARTE
Artisans of the Emirates (ARTE) was founded in 2005 by Miriam Walsh, a felt maker, and Paul Townsend, a silversmith; both experienced artisans regularly featuring at the fairs in Dubai and long-term residents of Dubai.
Many of the craft fairs in Dubai at that time included a high percentage of imported goods of varying quality and often produced in bulk. Mixed with a sense of dissatisfaction of how other events were run, Paul & Miriam decided to set up their own Artisans of the Emirates community to showcase the quality hand crafted work produced by talented individuals living in the UAE.
Today, ARTE holds two monthly markets on the first Friday of the month in Festival Centre and second Friday in Times Square Center. Now in its sixth year ARTE has become firmly established as a friendly, accessible and high quality event, attracting over 2,000 visitors each month who delight at the quality and extensive range of work.
It now boasts a network of over 2000 artisans, from over 30 different countries, offering the public the opportunity to buy original and exceptional design and craft from local artisans.
At any given market, ARTE showcases over 100 contemporary and highly original makers and designers, with items as diverse as fine and casual jewellery, the best in visual arts from photography to watercolours to oils, clothing by local designers, gourmet foods, toys, sculpture, fine and functional pottery, a wide selection of woodworking, stained glass, fashion accessories and lots more.
These souks offer the ideal venue for gift buyers and souvenir hunters, or those just looking for locally made quality art and crafts as a lasting memory of the Arabian region. Beautiful handcrafted objects to suit everyone's taste and budget.

If you are interested in pursuing a story investigating the growing trend for people branching out into new industries or setting up their own businesses in the challenging economic environment we would be happy to put you in touch with some of our vendors.
