Why Head To Al Ghurair Centre Street Art Connection 2015?
Urban Art Fest
The cover or the feature image of this post answers the title.
Everyone’s just so fortunate that Al Ghurair Centre is showcasing this particular branch of art which essentially uncovers the artsy side of the young and the young once alike.
Al Ghurair Centre Street Art Connection or the #AGCStreetCon is one of the many lined-up “art and culture” activities in Dubai.
It aims to energize public spaces in order to make art accessible to the community. As for the artists, it will allow both local and international artists to showcase their talent and spark a conversation between them and the audience to interact and learn from.
It is always great to hit 2 birds with 1 stone. After shopping or the other way around, get yourself amused by the ramifications of the 20 participating local and international artists’ creative juices.
Miracoco by Architects of Air, The Side Wall and 3D Floor Art by Kobra, The Fillers by Depiktone, Stray by Angelo Aguilor, The Wall by Tarsila Schubert, the Creativity Corner by The Jam Jar, Neon Room by Matt Ryder, Fumes and Mold Workshops by The Brownmonkeys, Box Art among others, are what you can find in Al Ghurair Centre. Started last 23rd of April and runs till 2nd of May.
In case you haven’t been there yet, here’s some of my snaps to entice you.
I don’t know what got into my son here. He said this is his AGCStreetCon pose. 🙂
Just in front of Paul’s, here’s the incredibly talented Adam Kadabra with my kiddos in the audience
AGCStreetCon means family 🙂
AGCStreetCon means siblings
AGCStreetCon means freestyle graffiti 🙂 (wifey and kiddos)
This shows how people love art. I painted my URL…
… then an hour later, I went back to the same spot and boom! It’s all filled up.
It’s just so colorful
The Stray. See how these wonderful snaps of Angelo Aguilor inspire the creation of a community for cat rescue, fostering and adoption
Love cats?
The Epic Mural of Brazilian Street Artist @KobraStreetArt l Still at 95% to completion when this was taken. See the finished one now in Al Ghurair Centre (till 2nd of May)
Why not? By simply adding a rectangular see-through glass on top of this, you’ll now have a table. 🙂

Now, share all your snaps and don’t forget to hashtag #AGCStreetCon
This is a yearly event like the other great events of Al Ghurair Centre. To mention one, the recently concluded and successful #DubFest 2015. It is great to share with you as well the below photo of the April-May 2015 issue of AGC magazine where myself and my little girl #Ivana were among the selected few snaps to be featured. This magazine is indeed worth keeping.
You might want to have your own Al Ghurair Centre Street Art Connection 2015 keepsake. There’s this great option too aside from all those snaps you’ve taken. You need no external memory drive or iCloud to store these keepsakes, because you’ve got to wear and use them. #AGCStreetCon 2015 Merchs are up for grabs.
