Happy Anniversary!

Happy Anniversary!

Thank again to Malen and Albert for ordering their anniversary gift from OrangeJar.com!

Museum ME the UAE

A brief history of one country, through one hundred objects…  

The UAE is a place of multiple nationalities and cultures, and together the population shares in the history of the place they inhabit. Museum ME the UAE aims to present a snap shot of the UAE and the shared experiences of its community by inviting anyone and everyone to submit an object(s) which relates to the UAE’s history.

One hundred objects will be selected and presented in categories of history, domesticity and art, placing sentimental tokens on the same level as historical artifact, weaving together the personal fragments into a cumulative patchwork tapestry of the UAE’s identity.

Please find attached the press release for the same.

Submit your application to museumuae@thejamjardubai.com by 1 October 2010.

What to send:
  • Jpeg image of the object being submitted
  • Description of its importance to the UAE in no more than 150 words
  • Measurements in centimeters, height x width x depth
  • Estimate of object’s age

The exhibition will take place at thejamjar from 14 – 21 October 2010.

Calling artists to redesign Emirates membership cards

Earlier this year, Emirates redesigned its Skywards frequent flyer membership cards by featuring works of art from renowned contemporary artists such as Damien Hirst, Christopher Ries and Simone Cenedese.

Now, with the launch of a global art competition, Emirates is furthering their commitment to the art world by giving new and undiscovered talent the unique opportunity to enjoy global exposure and have their artwork adorn their membership cards in 2011.

Emerging artists are invited to respond to any or all of the three briefs: Gold, Silver and Blue. Each brief asks for an interpretation of a different mood or quality.

Winners will receive a commission of USD5,000 and their work will also enjoy global recognition. In addition, you’ll have the chance to fly to Dubai and display your artwork and portfolio at Art Dubai, the leading contemporary art fair in the Middle East, North Africa and South Asia region in March 2011, attended by art critics, collectors and gallery owners from around the world.
