A key highlight of the event is the ‘We stand with UAE’ collaborative painting, where artists, Khaleej Times employees and participants will contribute to a collective artwork symbolising unity and shared values. The initiative reflects how art continues to serve as a platform for expression and social connection.
“SHEROES is rooted in the belief that when we give — our knowledge, creativity and encouragement — we create an ecosystem where growth becomes collective,” said Shiba Khan, Founder and Director of Funun Arts Group. “’Give to Gain’ is not just a theme; it reflects a mindset that encourages individuals and communities to move forward together.”
The event takes place against the backdrop of the UAE’s continued emphasis on cultural engagement, community building and social cohesion, providing a supportive environment for initiatives that bring people together through shared purpose.
Founded by Shiba Khan and Farah Khan, Funun Arts Group has established itself as a cultural platform in the UAE, focusing on art as a tool for empowerment, leadership and community-driven progress.
