Living out loud !!

This week I got the opportunity to board an Art Bus ...
Yes ...  that's right an Art Bus :)



This Art bus took us around the city , Dubai , and we had the rare opportunity
 to visit exhibitions at the independent art galleries 
and also to experience the annual art fair.




Accompanied by art guides the day-long tour was a chance 
to see art by international, regional and local artists 
while meeting like-minded people.




So today's post is all about this memorable day.





An installation at DUCTAC, Dubai




All about art, art, art... at DUCTAC Dubai




Hunar art gallery, Dubai

 Rustic charm  at Bastakiya Dubai

Getting ready for evening shows...Bastakiya Dubai




Absolutely gorgeous colors...sacks and bean bags to relax and enjoy the evening...Bastakiya Dubai




A young man with special needs creating glorious art...Bastakiya Dubai




Little lamps adorn the wall and spread the beauty of light...Bastakiya Dubai




Colors...colors ...colors :) Bastakiya Dubai
