Kholoud Al-Jabri highlights the urgent need for specialized studies that address works from both aesthetic and intellectual perspectives [[3]]. She suggests the establishment of comprehensive cultural centers, similar to those of the 1980s and 90s in Abu Dhabi, to support Emirati and international artists, including lecture halls, libraries, and studios [[3]]. These centers would facilitate dialogue and enhance understanding between artists and the public.
Hisham Al-Mazloum emphasizes that criticism, beyond simply reporting, contributes to the development of artistic work [[3]].
