Islamic Calligraphy Exhibition Planned in Dubai
The Exhibition is to be held in collaboration with the Dubai Culture & Arts Authority (Dubai Culture) at the Dubai Chamber of Commerce and Industry where the international Award is being organized over the period from Ramadan 01 to 18, , the GTimes reported.
Ibrahim Bu Melha, Head of the Award Organizing Committee, who is also Adviser to the Ruler of Dubai for Cultural and Humanitarian Affairs, said the function is a quantum addition to the diverse activities of the competition annually held under the patronage of Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice-President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai.
“The Award, hosting the Mohammed Bin Rashid Centre for Manuscripts, a leading hub for rare and historic Mus’hafs and manuscripts worldwide, is all set to enhance cooperation with the Dubai Culture in the future and run more similar shows to prop up the Islamic and Arabic calligraphy.”
Saeed Al Nabouda, Acting Director General of the Dubai Culture, said the Exhibition shows a stunning collection of Islamic and Arabic calligraphy masterpieces which will always remain a big attraction to original heritage fans from across the planet.
Recently, the Dubai Culture has run a remarkable exhibition for Islamic and Arabic calligraphy under the auspices of Sheikh Hamdan Bin Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Crown Prince of Dubai and Chairman of Dubai Executive Council.
The scheme, shedding light on the Islamic calligraphy in the holy Quran, will indeed give a special glamour and an authentic heritage touch to the Dubai International Holy Quran Award.
Meanwhile, the exhibition is to host an elite group of calligraphers from around the world, including some Emirati experts in handwriting, and feature some of their magnum opuses.
