JD Malat Gallery London is excited to announce Made in the UAE, a curatorial initiative designed to identify and amplify emerging contemporary artists working within the United Arab Emirates. Open to artists working in painting, photography, sculpture, installation, or video, the project invites submissions from those with a distinct visual language and a thoughtful approach to material and form. A panel composed of regional curators and international art world professionals will review submissions and select five artists to be featured in a group exhibition at JD Malat Gallery’s Dubai space in December 2025.
The initiative responds to the region’s dynamic and increasingly visible cultural landscape. It seeks to provide a meaningful platform for artists rooted in the UAE, creating space for exchange between emerging practices and global audiences. Made in the UAE reflects the gallery’s continued interest in regional perspectives and cross-cultural dialogue and marks the beginning of a broader programme of curatorial initiatives across the Gulf.
Submissions open on 7th July 2025 and close on 15th October 2025.
UAE Residents only.
