As part of its Corporate Social Responsibility initiatives and its commitment to promoting art, culture and heritage, Emirates NBD, the largest banking group in the Middle East in terms of assets has recently started the first Staff Art Show. The works of art will be on display at the main Emirates NBD branch until the 22nd of July, before being moved to various other branches in Dubai and Abu Dhabi. A select few will also be displayed in the Pearl Museum, which could be an aspiring artist’s gateway into the world of art.
The opening of the art show, comprising 43 paintings and photographs submitted entirely by the bank staff, was attended by members of the Senior Management of the Bank, as well as the artists, well-wishers, family and friends.
The Art Show received an overwhelming response from the bank employees, with over 180 submissions. The experts taking a call on the best entries were from the prestigious American University of Sharjah, with the design professor Philip Sheil as the painting curator for the event and Tarek Al Ghossein, the photography professor, judging the photography entries.
