AWC Dubai was founded in 2021 by Haldun Kilit, a businessman, interior designer and art collector with his private collection consisting of artworks from over 100 plus artists, who set the vision to create a bridge between international and UAE locally based artists. AWC fosters dialogue and collaboration through its diverse exhibitions and large scale projects.

In Dubai International Financial Centre’s yearly sculpture park exhibition, where we are envisioning and executing monumental sculptures, we are changing the landscape whilst actively supporting the local community to make art accessible for everyone. That vision is extended into the creation of the first ongoing sculpture park on the Dubai World Islands.

AWC Digital is our creative powerhouse specializing in creating online exhibitions showcasing digital art on our own platform where we are supporting the intellectual property rights of artists and provide a space for collectors.

Collaboration is part of our identity. By creating solo and group exhibitions we strive to create a synergy between cultures as well as introducing new artists to the United Arab Emirates.

We actively advise, create, plan and execute commissioned works and projects with our collectors and are always welcoming new collaborations with partners from the region and all around the world.

Founder Mr. Kilit’s leadership, AWC has rapidly expanded its footprint, starting the first gallery in Dubai, AWC Istanbul will be opening by the end of 2024. By 2030 we are ambitiously envisioning to open further galleries in the UK, USA, CIS and MENA regions. This growth reflects AWC’s commitment to innovation and sustainability in both its physical and digital art portfolios.
