Hand-Painted Art for Dubai Showrooms and Brand Launches
Give the launch its own painted image, with a clear role for the canvas once the collection changes.
A d3 showroom unveiling a collection needs a different brief from a home store buying paintings for resale. We help Dubai retail teams turn their approved references into canvases for either purpose.
PaletteMomento is a hand-painting studio in Dafen Art Village, Shenzhen, China. One painter takes each canvas from the first marks to the last. We can quote one campaign piece or a collection, using your references, image sizes, quantities and delivery address. Before shipping, you approve daylight photos of every finished painting.

01 / Decide how long the image belongs
A design launch can outlast its campaign graphics
Downtown Design runs at Dubai Design District from 4 to 8 November 2026. For a showroom joining that week, the painting can remain after the launch materials come down.
Consider whether the canvas belongs to one collection or to the store itself. A painted product image may become dated when the range changes. A composition drawn from your own shapes or materials can remain relevant longer.
Permanent store artwork
Choose a reference you expect to keep through later collections. Campaign dates and changing offers can sit on separate display materials managed by your team.
Paintings customers can buy
For resale, choose the sizes your customers would take home. The largest canvas your showroom can hold need not set the whole assortment.
These are planning choices, not a claim that one format sells better in Dubai. Our retail and brand art guide covers the shared briefing steps.
02 / Give each launch a real date
November design visitors and April art visitors are separate occasions
Art Dubai is scheduled for 7 to 11 April 2027 at Madinat Jumeirah. A store event during those dates needs its own brief, even if November artwork stays on the wall.
The fair date does not make your store an exhibitor or an official partner. If you plan an independent event, describe it that way in your campaign.
- 4 to 8 November 2026: Downtown Design at d3. Tell us your showroom reveal date, which may differ from the fair opening.
- 7 to 11 April 2027: Art Dubai at Madinat Jumeirah. Decide whether the April event needs a new painting or new styling around an existing canvas.
- Your collection release: this is the date we need for the actual order. We confirm feasible production and delivery timing with you.
For canvases intended for an art fair stand, use our Dubai galleries and framers guide. Stand acceptance and wall rules belong to that separate buying decision.
03 / Separate artwork from site work
An overnight change still depends on the contractor’s approval
Dubai Development Authority offers a Night Shift Work Permit for contractors in its jurisdiction. It covers specific hours and dates. It is not a blanket rule for every Dubai shop.
If your contractor plans an overnight display change, ask which permissions apply to your unit. Your installer handles the site work. Share the agreed artwork delivery date after the receiving arrangements are clear.
A finished painting can wait at our studio if the site is not ready. Once you approve it, we suggest settling the balance then. Storage arrangements, including duration and cost, are open to discussion.
04 / Budget for the canvas’s purpose
Which paintings belong to the campaign budget, and which are sale stock?
Mark that distinction on your enquiry so a large display canvas does not get treated as a standard resale size.
A collection launch may need one detailed image. A home store may need several designs at different widths. We can discuss both in the same enquiry.
For the painted finish, compare our hand-painting process with the reference you want translated.
- Approved reference for each canvas, with campaign or resale use noted
- Image width and height, quantity and preferred presentation
- The Dubai delivery address and your own reveal or stocking date
- Any part of the design that must remain recognizable after painting
Studio order & delivery terms
- Made by hand
- Painted directly on premium linen, with no printed base. Acrylic is standard; oil is available on request. One painter takes each canvas from the first marks to the last.
- One piece or a collection
- Orders start at one painting, with quantity tiers from 6 and 21 pieces. Mixed designs count together. A sample is a separate single-piece order, priced on its own and not credited against a later order.
- Rolled, stretched or framed
- You choose the image width and height. Suitable rolled work includes an extra 5 cm of blank canvas on every side for stretching or framing. Please mention a larger allowance before production. Heavy texture should travel stretched or framed.
- A complete delivery quote
- Your quote sets out the artwork, presentation and delivery charges. We work with more than 200 logistics partners to compare express and sea options. Most destinations are served on DDP terms, with exceptions where local customs rules require another arrangement. The quote states the delivery terms for the UAE.
- Time for each stage
- Painting, your review, transport and any local framing are separate stages. Rush production can be requested, and we confirm a feasible date for the actual order.
- Payment
- Usually a 50% deposit, with the balance after final approval and before shipping.
05 / After the launch brief
Planning the next use of your Dubai store artwork
Can a Dubai showroom sell the display painting later?
A Dubai showroom can order a hand-painted canvas as resale stock as well as a display piece. If resale is planned, choose the buyer-facing size and presentation before production. Check that your reference permissions cover that use.
Can our d3 showroom open before Downtown Design begins?
Downtown Design’s 4 November 2026 opening does not set the reveal date of an independent d3 showroom. If yours opens earlier, use that earlier date in the painting enquiry.
Does a DDA fit-out application need the painting image?
DDA’s published fit-out checklist asks for approved and proposed drawings, not a standard painting-image submission. Your contractor can identify whether the artwork changes those drawings before you confirm its size.
Can the contractor apply for DDA night work on the installation day?
DDA lists an estimated two working days for its Night Shift Work Permit. An overnight Dubai display change therefore needs advance coordination; actual approval timing can vary.
Can a local installer request particular hanging hardware?
Your Dubai installer can specify the hanging hardware they need. Message us with that requirement and we can talk it through before you order.

Your approved image and intended use help us discuss a painting that belongs in the store after opening day.
