Dubai: Emirates NBD today announced the launch of the Emirates NBD Art Exhibit, a new initiative showcasing art by people of determination (people with disabilities).

Aligned with the bank’s #TogetherLimitless advocacy platform for persons of determination, in collaboration with the Mawaheb from Beautiful People, the Emirates NBD Art Exhibit supports artists of determination by displaying their works at the Priority Banking centres of the bank’s branches. Customers who visit the branches will have the opportunity to enjoy the art works on display and buy pieces they like.

Hussam Al Hashimi, Head of Priority Banking, Emirates NBD said, “As one of the leading banks in the UAE, Emirates NBD is constantly seeking new ways to serve the local community and support people of determination. Through this new initiative, we are offering our customers the opportunity to support artists of determination and help nurture their talent. We plan to expand this programme to the Priority Banking centres in the bank branches throughout the UAE”

Since its inception in 2015, Emirates NBD’s #TogetherLimitless has undertaken several initiatives for disability mainstreaming including programmes for their educational, workplace and social inclusion.
