Yes, Dubai is known for over-the-top experiences, but this one’s floating above the rest. After a dreamy debut in April, Art & Fly is back for round two at The Dubai Balloon at Atlantis, The Palm. Set your sights on Saturday, May 24th, from 5:30 PM to 8:30 PM, because this is where creativity takes flight. Literally!
Art & Fly Returns To Atlantis: Paint With The Sky
As the sun begins its dramatic descent, you’ll board Dubai’s only tethered helium balloon and rise into the sky. This isn’t your average view, think 360 degrees of pure postcard: Palm Jumeirah, the glittering Arabian Gulf, and Dubai’s skyline showing off as always.
But the magic doesn’t end up there. Once you float back down to earth (gracefully, of course), the real artistic journey begins. On the Dubai Balloon Terrace, guests will receive a handpicked art kit including canvas, pencil, and watercolours. No need to make your painting Picasso-perfect. It’s enough to paint to express your emotions. You’ll channel your sky-high experience onto canvas while soaking up the golden hour glow.
Led By A Master Of Creative Flight
Guiding your brush (and your imagination) is Fosca Garcia, a multidisciplinary artist and self-titled “Artepreneur” known for blending soul, spontaneity, and skill. Her Instagram-worthy style makes her the perfect creative co-pilot for the evening.
The vibe? Ultra-chill. Think soft drinks and a sunset breeze. This is a no-pressure, no-rules zone where everyone’s welcome, whether you’re a seasoned painter or someone who hasn’t touched a brush since school.
Art, Altitude & A Bit Of Therapy
At its core, Art & Fly is more than an art session. It’s an experience. A slow-down, breathe-deep, reset-your-brain kind of evening. Forget the city buzz, the deadlines, the endless to-do lists. Up here, your only job is to create something beautiful and maybe sip something refreshing while you’re at it.
With a terrace overlooking Atlantis’ beach, this open-air art event also offers a breezy escape from the rising summer heat. It’s romantic, it’s relaxing, and it’s real joy in motion.
