The Abu Dhabi Music & Arts Foundation advances Abu Dhabi’s cultural vision and nurtures society through the arts, education, culture and creativity.

Culture is the key that unlocks creativity. It is the food that nurtures the soul of mankind. It is the language that transcends borders. It is the anchor that unites a nation.
The Abu Dhabi Music & Arts Foundation (ADMAF) believes in the fundamental right of every person - regardless of age or ability - to access, understand and appreciate cultural expression.
Established in 1996 by Her Excellency Mrs Hoda Al Khamis Kanoo, ADMAF is a not-for-profit organization.
Every year, it undertakes a broad range of initiatives and events, bringing together audiences of diverse origins.
Through its festivals, events, educational and community programs, it seeks to nurture the creative talent of the people of the United Arab Emirates and beyond, often in partnership with leading national and international institutions.
