Dubai — The Richmond Hughes Limited, Gallery Ward and the Nenu Tech joined hands to organise a charity dinner event in Dubai recently in support of the Emirates Red Crescent and the UAE Compassion campaign (Tarahamu).

The event was held at the Capital Club Dubai on February 5 and Pir Shafi Mohammed from Richmond Hughes, Yaser Askar and Maha Alsharif from Gallery Ward welcomed the guests. Salem bin Dasmal, Founder of Silver Spoon Investments, was the major sponsor of the event.

The event showcased art pieces, including paintings, photographs and sculptures from contemporary artists belonging mainly to the Middle East region.

The guests as well as art connoisseurs were impressed by the modern trends depicted by the young and not-so young artists. They particularly evinced keen interest in photograph ‘Dubai’ by Ayman Lotfy,  painting ‘Being’ by Irfan Gul Dahri and a bronze piece titled ‘Cat’ by Essam Darwish.

This event in Dubai was a first of a series of charity fundraising events by Richmond Hughes — a real estate investment company with a focus on London property market — with more such events planned in the Middle East and the UK this year.  The Red Crescent in Dubai has worked to promote the spirit of solidarity and compassion among the community members, and thanks to the support and assistance of the philanthropists and benefactors for its charitable programmes, it has crossed several milestones of providing services in the humanitarian field. -news@khaleejtimes.com
