The Arts Center - Building a performing arts community on Saadiyat Island (Akkadia Press, 2021) marks the growth and development of The Arts Center at NYU Abu Dhabi across its first seven years, as it heads to becoming a cornerstone for the arts in Abu Dhabi. The book depicts our definition-defying highlights in music, theater, dance, film, poetry, family programs, and interdisciplinary performances and tracks our journey to become a beacon on the international arts landscape, firmly rooted in Abu Dhabi but with a global reach. It includes a series of essays, anecdotes, and quotes from a variety of prominent members of our community, including Her Excellency Noura Al Kaabi, and Vice Chancellor at NYU Abu Dhabi Mariët Westermann, each sharing stories of how The Arts Center at NYU Abu Dhabi has impacted the local arts scene.
A reception (from 5:30-6pm) will precede the formal program, which will begin promptly at 6pm with a short performance:
