It has quickly become a focal point for celebrating the artistic diversity and heritage of the United Arab Emirates.

The exhibition brings together a selection of paintings, photography, digital art, and mixed media, reflecting the distinctive cultural, historical, and environmental identities of all seven emirates—Abu Dhabi, Dubai, Sharjah, Ajman, Umm Al-Quwain, Ras Al Khaimah, and Fujairah. The art on display not only highlights the unique qualities of each emirate but also underscores the unity that binds the nation together.

With a keen eye for emerging trends, Jackson has been at the forefront of numerous art initiatives in the UAE. Her work with Art4You Gallery has contributed significantly to the region’s cultural scene, providing a platform for artists from diverse backgrounds to express their creativity and build connections within the art community.

Speaking about the exhibition, Jackson shared her excitement:"The ‘7 Emirates’ exhibition is a tribute to the creative energy present in every corner of the UAE. The artists have interpreted the essence of their respective emirates, allowing viewers to connect deeply with the country's multifaceted identity."

The exhibition features 10 international and local artists, including Clarisse Meneghetti (Brazil), Sanjana Nanda (India), Joy Najm (Lebanon), Eric Afranie (Ghana), Karoline Denisha (UK), Suaad Al Zaabi (UAE), Labiba Ferhat (Algeria), Vasilisa Eliseeva (Russia), Mustafa Pracha (Pakistan), and Tatiana Lamiri (Morocco/Russia). Their works explore the stories, landscapes, and traditions of the seven emirates, creating a dynamic visual experience for the audience.

Art4You Gallery, under Jesno Jackson's leadership, has been instrumental in nurturing local talent while bringing global perspectives to the UAE art scene. The gallery is known for hosting exhibitions that celebrate the fusion of local culture with international artistic influences, making it a key player in Dubai's growing cultural landscape.
