(TRAVPR.COM) UAE - February 4th, 2013 - Painting, knitting and sculpting are just a few of the ways you can summon the muse and, improve or discover your creative skills at Dubai International Art Centre (DIAC) that has announced a series of exciting new courses for adults this term.

Launching the courses, Ayesha Chen McKeever, Chairwoman, DIAC, said, “Dubai International Art Centre is a place where art meets education. In addition to tuition and support we offer learners freedom to explore their own artistic potential. The courses available this term have been carefully designed to inspire both beginners as well as those with advanced skills to develop themselves further.”

Few centres are associated with art as the DIAC. From its inception it has been one of the emirate’s most respected institutions having served the arts community in Dubai since 1976 providing space to learn, practice and display a wide repertoire of arts. Ayesha stressed, “From the very beginning our space has been open to all – artists, students and public.
