About ASAS
A Flagship event of Funun Arts Group and Youth Creative Minds Hub. Established in 2020, ASAS began as an intimate art event. It featured just 125 student artists. Today, it stands tall as the largest youth art exhibition in the region, drawing over 1000+ participants in 2024 alone.
But ASAS is more than an exhibition:
It is a year-round cultural movement that fosters innovation, dialogue, and mentorship.
ASAS provides global student showcases and cross-cultural workshops. It offers youth talks, competitions, and live art sessions. ASAS empowers the next generation to express, engage, and evolve through creativity.
“Where young artists become cultural ambassadors and creativity becomes a bridge to understanding.”

Theme– We are One
In alignment with the UAE’s official theme for 2025 – The Year of Community, this year’s theme emphasizes inclusivity. It highlights harmony and collective strength.
For the Annual Student Art Show 2025 under the theme “We Are One”, the goal is to encourage unity. It also aims to promote diversity and global connection. “We Are One” is a celebration of unity in a beautifully diverse world. We come from different cultures. We speak different languages or hold different beliefs. Still, there is something deeper that binds us. It is a shared humanity that finds expression through the power of art.
This theme invites young artists to think about the invisible threads that connect us—kindness, hope, and the wish to belong. It asks them to see the world not as separate pieces. Instead, the world is a living tapestry. In it, every color and pattern has meaning.
Through their work, students can explore ideas of togetherness, harmony, and collective strength. Whether inspired by traditions, nature, or the world around them, their art becomes a voice for connection and peace.
In expressing “We Are One,” students don’t just create. They offer a vision of a world where differences are not dividers. These differences are the very reason we are stronger together.
