Omnipreneurship Newsletter

Art, as we know it, is a way and an outlet for us to express our emotions, and convene thoughts that we can’t articulate into words. We often find that workplaces can feel very routine with all the desks and hallways. Our brains hold on to memorable environment features where art can be served as a landmark, allowing them to spark their creativity alongside their level of productivity. For that reason, Al-Dabbagh Group’s headquarters are decorated with all sorts of artworks ranging from one-of-a kind sculptures to unique paintings crafted by our own colleagues. Our artwork is not only put up as a means to calm and destress our colleagues but to also function as an endowment that aligns with one of our three main principles of Omnipreneurship, Giving.

Most recently, ADG has launched the Art for All, as part of ADG’s Art Loan Initiative. It is the first of its kind competition that we launch for all colleagues across the globe and led by ADG’s Communications and Art Officer, Dalal Bahareth. The aim of the initiative is to engage colleagues worldwide in scouting for an artwork created by an artist from their home country/town. A panel of judges will then review the submissions. The funnest part? The winning participants will have their artwork acquired by ADG, and it will be included into the ADG Art Loan Initiative and displayed in their chosen space – adding some colour to your work environment, wherever it might be!

The ADG Art Loan Initiative, also spearheaded by Dalal kicked off toward the end of 2023. Dalal implemented this initiative by acquiring different pieces from local Saudi artists such as, Ola Hejazi, Khalid Al Mutlaq, and our very own TFC colleague, Budoor AlSudairy.

The loaned pieces remain in the office until it is assigned to a different location for its next rotation! That way, each painting can be tested out to see where it fits in best and we can ensure the creativity in art can be expressed in different places. Dalal flew to Riyadh and signed the agreement with Tanmiah’s CEO, Zulfiqar Hamdani (as pictured above!). The initiative will allow ADG to share and loan artworks to TFC and, in the future, our other group companies.
