About this list
The creative districts are the cheapest nights out in the city. Alserkal Avenue and d3 run gallery lates, open studios, screenings and talks that are free to walk into, and the photo walks and creative meetups around them cost nothing but a morning.
If you are studying design, film, architecture or anything adjacent, these are also where the people hiring for internships actually are. Listings show what is on, where, and whether anything needs booking.

Questions students actually ask
The things people search for before they turn up.
Browse every eventThere are 3 listed at the moment, each with the date, time, venue, price and organiser on its own page. The list is ordered soonest first, so whatever is at the top is what is happening next.
Yes, 2 of the 3 cost nothing to attend. The rest are priced at student rates, and the price is on the card before you click.
Any student in Dubai, unless a listing says otherwise. Campus events are sometimes limited to that university or need a student there to sign you in, and where that applies it is stated on the event page. Age limits, where they exist, are listed too.
New arts and culture events are added as organisers submit them and as university societies publish their terms, and events drop off the list once they have happened. Register and you get told what is coming up rather than having to check.
