2026: REDESIGNING DIALOGUES

The annual Art for Tomorrow is an initiative of the Democracy & Culture Foundation, which works at the nexus of art, democracy and citizen engagement.

The next edition will take place in Doha, Qatar, hosted at M7, the city’s vibrant hub for innovation and design. This year’s conference coincides with the opening of Design Doha, offering a unique opportunity to explore the synergies between art, design and cultural dialogue. Prepare to engage with thought leaders, artists and innovators who are shaping the future of art and culture.
