Under the Oculus supports the museum’s artistic and educational work, connecting its distinctive setting with a continuing public mission.
What the charity supports
Under the Oculus supports the museum’s artistic and educational work, connecting its distinctive setting with a continuing public mission. Exhibitions, learning and collection care are the substantive purpose behind the celebration. Explore the organization’s work.
Where support goes
The organizer states that funds raised directly support exhibitions, education programs and preservation of the collection. Those are different but connected needs: presenting art today depends on caring for it and helping people understand it. The invitation does not assign a fixed proportion of each ticket to those categories.
The people behind the work
The 2026 benefit honors Mohamed Khalifa Al Mubarak, chairman of Abu Dhabi’s Department of Culture and Tourism, and artist Alex Katz. Curators, conservators, educators and museum teams carry the institutional work alongside patrons and governing leadership. Meet the organization.
See the work
Explore the organization’s own films, presentations or recorded programs. Some resources include earlier events and continuing work; they are an introduction to the cause, rather than footage of this upcoming edition. Watch official films and videos.
