We visited the Quoz Arts Fest 2024 at Alserkal Avenue in Al Quoz Industrial Area, Dubai. Quoz Arts Fest by Alserkal Avenue, is an annual celebration of arts and culture that has been held since 2012. The festival takes place in Alserkal Avenue and across the surrounding Al Quoz area, celebrating the thinkers and makers from this creative neighbourhood. Featuring a diverse and dynamic programme of more than 200 activations, and bringing together more than 50 creative concepts from across Al Quoz, this year’s festival celebrated a decade of success and featured live music, art, contemporary dance, performing arts, food trucks, public art installations, wellness, and more.
The Festival is usually held on the last weekend of January (27th & 28th in 2024) and draws a crowd of art, culture and music enthusiasts. Entry to the festival used to be free, but after charging 30 AED per ticket in 2023, this year rates for tickets have gone up to AED 63 per day. Quite expensive compared to other arts festivals in the area which are free and offer similar attractions.
If you want to visit the Quoz Arts Festival to see Art, we recommend visiting Alserkal Avenues during regular opening hours where the galleries are not as packed and entry is free.

Our Highlights from the Festival?
1.) The exhibition of Arash Nazari: POEM IS MY NAME at Leila Heller Gallery – Congratulations to Leila Taghinia Milani Heller – great Exhibition!
2.) The from Dubai Culture & Arts Authority commissioned installation Migrant Minds from Moey Studio.
“My neighborhood came together to create this art installation that tells the story of everyone who’s moved countries, carrying their hopes, dreams and remains of their identity. It captures the middle eastern identity using the exact carpet that I grew up with.”
