Numoo has been supported by grants from the U.S. Mission to the UAE since its inception in 2021. The current edition is running from May through September 2024. The program enables artists to grow professionally in their field, providing enhanced tools to showcase their work to the UAE public and beyond, and build a sustainable artistic community that promotes ongoing development and collaboration.
The participating UAE-based artists come from diverse backgrounds and levels of artistic experience. From poets to musicians, dancers, choreographers, writers, and theater makers, this international group learn from professionals in the field and are trained in different skills to develop a comprehensive understanding of the arts field in the UAE and beyond.
