We Emerge Stronger

Commission Open Call

A.R.M. Holding, in collaboration with Art Dubai, is launching We Emerge Stronger, an open call for a new permanent public sculpture at the HUNA Sculpture Park at H Residence. The commission takes its name from the words of His Highness Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, President of the United Arab Emirates — نظهر أقوى — a statement of collective resolve that speaks to resilience, renewal, and shared strength. Artists are invited to respond to that concept, directly or conceptually, through an outdoor, site-specific work made for public life.

The open call is now live. UAE-based, regional, and international artists, and artist-gallery partnerships, with experience in permanent or large-scale outdoor installation are invited to submit from 17 June to 25 July 2026.

“Culture is essential to how we build cities and communities. This commission reflects our belief that art should be woven into everyday life, giving artists the freedom to develop bold, individual proposals while creating a lasting public presence deeply connected to its environment.”

— H.E. Mohammed Saeed Al Shehhi

Secretary-General of UAE Media Council, CEO of A.R.M. Holding and Director of the Board and General Manager of Emirates Racing Authority.
