Bloom World Academy is the first UAE school to exhibit original Banksy works alongside student art in a creativity-packed showcase
It’s not every day students get to share wall space with one of the world’s most famous street artists—but that’s exactly what happened at Bloom World Academy’s Art Fair.
In a bold and inspiring collaboration with Wonderwall Fine Arts, the school became the first in the UAE to exhibit original works by Banksy.
The show featured Running Coppers, Toxic Fuel, and the regional debut of Secured, all of which were displayed alongside student creations from across all year groups.
Far from a traditional art display, this was an opportunity for young artists to see their work exhibited alongside a global icon, bringing creativity, conversation, and a touch of street-style flair to the school’s corridors.
“This collaboration wasn’t just about viewing thought-provoking art,” said Founding Principal John Bell.
“It was about dialogue, reflection, critical thinking, and giving our students and their families a front-row seat to culture that challenges and inspires.”
Kimberly McMahon, CEO of Wonderwall Fine Arts, added:
“Giving young people access to work that’s bold, witty and thought-provoking felt like the right way to make art matter – and perhaps even plant the seed for the next great Banksy.”
