Overview of Sculpture Park in DIFC 4th Edition 2025
The DIFC Sculpture Park has returned with its fourth edition. It will transform the Dubai International Financial Centre into a vibrant open-air cultural destination.
The space features more than 50 sculptures and installations by 27 artists from around the world. It will run from 26 November 2025 until the end of May 2026.
This year’s theme is titled Enduring Forms and invites the public to explore how art evolves from raw material into lasting creative expression. With free access and a dynamic layout beneath the iconic Gate Building, the space offers one of Dubai’s most meaningful artistic experiences.
Sculpture Park Theme for 2025: Enduring Forms
The theme Enduring Forms focuses on how artistic expression transforms simple materials into meaningful works that withstand time. Visitors will encounter a diverse range of DIFC art installations created from metal stone wood recycled materials and mixed media. The open setting encourages slow exploration, reflection and a deeper connection with each sculpture.
This edition marks an important milestone for the Sculpting Futures initiative created by DIFC in partnership with Dubai Cares. The centrepiece of the DIFC Sculpture Park 2025 is a collaborative sculpture by Sawsan Al Bahar and Bahar Al Bahar, produced with Firetti Contemporary gallery.
The sculpture celebrates a wider philanthropic effort that raised AED 1,000,000 from the DIFC corporate community to support youth skills development across STEAM fields, including science, technology, engineering, arts and mathematics.
Contributor names will be permanently engraved into the piece. It will be displayed under the Gate Building before being relocated to DIFC Square in 2026 as a permanent installation.
