Art Meets the Market: Time Out Market Dubai Launches Exhibition by Siyarty

Sip & Paint returns

Time Out Market Dubai is turning up the cultural dial this May with a vibrant line-up of art-led experiences. The Souk Al Bahar hotspot will be hosting a striking automotive art exhibition and launching the return of its ever-popular Sip & Paint session,

Kicking off the programme is a month-long exhibition by acclaimed automotive ink artist Shaheer Mansour, also known as Siyarty. Launching on Thursday 7 May, the Market’s pop-up space will transform into a gallery showcasing Mansour’s signature ‘scribble’ technique — a meticulous style built from layered fine-line ink.

Expect detailed, almost hypnotic compositions that reimagine iconic cars as symbols of movement, culture and craftsmanship. The exhibition is free to visit daily, making it an easy addition to any Downtown Dubai itinerary.

For those keen to see the magic unfold, Mansour will host live drawing sessions every Saturday from 6pm, offering a rare behind-the-scenes look at his creative process.

Adding a social twist to the arts calendar, Sip & Paint returns on Sunday 17 May — and it’s shaping up to be a crowd-pleaser. Running from 4pm to 6pm, the guided session invites guests to create their own artwork with support from professional artists.

The experience is hosted in collaboration with UAE-based gallery Artezaar and craft brewery Brewdog, blending creativity with a relaxed, upbeat atmosphere. Expect unlimited beverages, a live DJ and plenty of encouragement — whether you’re a seasoned painter or picking up a brush for the first time.

This latest programme reinforces Time Out Market Dubai’s position as more than just a dining destination. By combining art, entertainment and social experiences under one roof, the venue continues to champion the city’s creative scene in an accessible and engaging way.

Whether you’re there for the food, the views of Burj Khalifa, or now, the art, May is shaping up to be one of the most exciting times to visit.
