00:00The Dubai Culture and Arts Authority recently hosted the 6th edition of SICA Art Fair at
00:13Bastakiya in Bur Dubai's Al-Fahidi district.
00:15Held from March 13 to 24, the Arts Fair covered a range of art disciplines including visual
00:21arts, animation, design, new media, literature, poetry, music, and performing arts.
00:27Providing deep insights into the creative flourish of culture and arts in the UAE and
00:31the GCC, SICA 2016 also aimed to identify aspiring and emerging talents from the region.
00:37When I participate in SICA I aim to maybe show my artwork, maybe not all the people
00:43know it.
00:44I participate in many exhibitions but maybe SICA more attractive for people, everybody
00:49can come.
00:50So it's a very nice idea.
00:51At SICA Art Fair there are many outlets like glass, then they have 3D doodlers and portraits
00:59and everything.
01:00They have got so many activities.
01:02This year SICA opened its doors to visual and performing arts, film and music.
01:07The Arts Fair is part of the two-month Dubai Arts Season, the umbrella arts initiative
01:12by Dubai Culture that includes visual arts projects, music, live performances, video
01:17art and workshops.
