The gallery’s design and architecture will be “highly sophisticated,” boasting state-of-the-art interior, equipment, and light and sound infrastructure," CEO of 37xDubai Clemence Cazeau was quoted as saying by Arabian Business.
“We’ve hand-picked and meticulously selected every element of the space to ensure that the 37xDubai gallery and its exhibitions are presented in an unforgettable fashion to every one of our visitors,” Cazeau added.
“We are lucky to have a great personal network, so we are already in talks with many different brands from various sectors, including lifestyle, luxury, jewelry, technology industries, as well as some local well known Dubai native brands,” the firm's co-founder and CEO Danilo S. Carlucci was quoted as saying by Al Arabiya.
“Dubai is an ever-growing melting pot of ideas, entrepreneurs and creatives, and is generally a market that is very open to bold moves,” he added.
The new concept of 37xDubai will be released right before Art Dubai, which is slated to take place March 1-5, 2023. An art exhibition to launch the gallery will take place in early March with more details to be released in January, the report added.
