The Dubai Culture & Arts Authority is the Emirate’s dedicated authority for arts, culture and heritage in Dubai. As the strategic partner of Art Dubai, part of Art Week and the Dubai Art Season–the umbrella arts initiative organised by Dubai Culture, the Authority is committed to nurturing talent, therefore provides support to the fair’s year-round educational and not-for-profit programmes.

HEK (House of Electronic Arts) in Basel is dedicated to digital culture and the new art forms of the Information Age. Since 2011, the institution has been central to the creative and critical discourse on the aesthetic, socio-political and economic effects of media technologies.

As a platform for contemporary art that explores and employs new technologies, HEK promotes aesthetic practices related to information technologies. This not only enables a better comprehension of the changing world we live in, but also serves to actively engage with these processes and confront pressing questions of 21st century culture, while actively contributing to their mediation.
