HE Noura Bint Mohammed Al Kaabi

Warm greetings!  I want to extend my heartfelt congratulations to Abdul Latif Jameel on its platinum jubilee.

At one level, it is the celebration of a 75 year old vision of exemplary entrepreneurship straddling diverse sectors; at another it is the celebration of a 75 years of a tradition that stands out for its philanthropic commitment and community support.

Art Jameel, Bab Rizq Jameel and Community Jameel are integral parts of a vision that helps us look beyond the material aspects of life.  It was in 2003 that the group has made serious inroads into efforts for social change.

I am happy to have associated with Art Jameel and its multifaceted bouquet of activities aimed at enriching the art scene in the Gulf and beyond.

I believe the contributions of Art Jameel in nurturing the art scene and the region have been spectacular.  It has done more than most, in fostering contemporary art practices and creative entrepreneurships in the Middle East.  It has also provided a vibrant platform for cultural dialogue and exchange across boundaries.

I share your vision and your noble goals.  It has been a delight working together with you for taking our art scene to newer heights of creativity on this momentous occasion when Abdul Latif Jameel completes 75 years of impressive work across sectors, I wish you continuous success and accomplishment for years to come.

I would like to end by reminding everyone of Abdul Latif Jameel’s Founder’s favorite Arabic proverb, which is so inspiring:  “If a wind blows; ride it!”
