The Wellbeing Planet Foundation is pleased to announce the UAE Artist Residency 2026, a one-month immersive experience in the United Arab Emirates — where desert, art, and innovation converge.
From the golden dunes of Sharjah to the futuristic skylines of Dubai and Abu Dhabi, this residency invites artists, designers, writers, and visionaries to explore the dialogue between tradition and the future, nature and technology, silence and creation.
? Dates: April or November–December 2026
? Limited to 12 artists
? Locations: Dubai – Abu Dhabi – Sharjah Desert
Participants will engage in studio work, cultural visits, and a 4-day desert retreat, culminating in a public exhibition and curatorial mentoring.
If you wish to receive detailed information or schedule an interview to secure your place, please write to us at:

We look forward to welcoming you to this journey into the future, culture, and desert landscapes of the Emirates.
