We connect creatives and communities to develop and deliver public art, urban interventions and cultural experiences that strengthen local identity, belonging and connection to place.
DezArt is an Emirati-founded public art agency. Founded in 2013, we have grown from a mural practice into a collaborative agency bringing art, design and cultural expression into public spaces. Our work connects creatives, clients and communities, combining an understanding of each place with international creative perspectives.
We work with government entities, developers and cultural organisations across creative consultancy, curation, design development, community engagement and production. From individual murals to wider public art programmes, we tailor our role to each project, connecting creative ideas with the planning, coordination and practical expertise needed to bring them to life.
Our approach starts with understanding the place, the people who use it and the purpose of the project. Through thoughtful collaboration, we aim to create spaces and experiences that celebrate cultural identity, invite participation and strengthen a sense of belonging.
Public art expertise from strategy and artist commissioning to murals, sculptures, installation and long-term care.
We help government entities, developers and cultural organisations define what public art should do for a place. Site research, cultural context and stakeholder conversations inform the brief, programme, budget and commissioning approach.
We connect each opportunity with artists whose practice fits the place and ambition. Our role includes artist research, shortlisting, creative briefs, selection coordination and supporting artists through concept development.
We work with artists, architects, designers and technical specialists to develop concepts for delivery. Materials, samples, site interfaces, access and installation requirements are considered alongside the artistic intent.
We coordinate the people and decisions that keep a public art programme moving: scope, budgets, schedules, procurement, client reviews and site approvals. A clear delivery plan connects creative development with production and handover.
DezArt delivers mural programmes across building façades, neighbourhood walls, utility assets and pedestrian routes. We lead concept development and artist commissioning, manage technical specifications and surface preparation, and direct on-site production through to inspection and handover. Each commission is planned around its architectural setting, cultural context and long-term care requirements.
DezArt delivers landmark sculptures and site-specific installations through a fully managed design, engineering and production process. We direct artistic development and manage specialist structural engineering, technical drawings, materials and finishes, fabrication, foundation and anchoring works, authority submissions and site installation.
Our planning addresses structural stability, environmental loads, public safety, site access, lifting and long-term durability. From design approvals to quality inspections, as-built documentation and maintenance handover, DezArt provides a single accountable delivery partner.
We plan how an artwork reaches its site and coordinate the teams delivering it. Site access, sequencing, contractor interfaces, production checks and installation are managed together with the client and relevant specialists.
We develop artist-led workshops, youth programmes and participatory activities that connect people with public art. The format responds to the community, cultural context and practical purpose of each programme.
We help clients plan for the life of their artworks through condition reviews, maintenance planning and coordination of repairs. Documentation and handover information support future care and preserve the intent of the work.
