The event will conclude on February 7, 2005.
As part of its commitment, Emirates will fly in sculptors and painters from more than 50 countries to Dubai to participate in the region's acclaimed creative art forum which forms part of the 10th Dubai Shopping Festival.
Emirates flies to almost all countries where the participating artists reside and the award winning airline hopes to provide the Dubai experience much before the creative visitors touch down at the Dubai International Airport.
The artists will vie for honours and a total prize purse of USD 90,000. The sculpting competition, with 40 entries, has already begun from January 12 in a specially created area next to the Dubai World Trade Centre and will conclude on - February 7. The painting event, with 30 participants, will take place at the Dubai Marina Promenade and Al Rigga street from January 24 to February 7.
Hamad Obaidallah, Emirates' Senior Vice President Commercial Operations (Gulf, Middle East & Iran), said: "Emirates' support forms part of our commitment to promote the country's art and culture and accelerate Dubai's growth into a leading cultural and art destination. We look forward to working together with Emaar and repeating the success of last year."
Ibrahim Al Hashemi, Executive Director, Emaar Properties and Chairman of the Organising Committee, said: "We are delighted with Emirates support for the second consecutive year. Emirates is a benchmark in service and hospitality in the region and its success is synonymous with the dynamic growth of Dubai. The association will provide good value for the event and will go a long way in making the Art Symposium a great success."
