A series of accolades and achievements have marked Staker’s ascent in the art world. Early in her career, she was the recipient of prestigious grants and awards, including a fellowship from the Illinois Arts Council and a CAAP Individual Artist Grant from the City of Chicago’s Department of Cultural Affairs.

In her own words, Staker’s artistic philosophy is rooted in a deep love for colour and a fascination with abstraction. Through a visual language that blends urban symbols, geometric shapes, and figurative elements and nods to the natural world, she creates works that pulsate with life and energy. Her process is dynamic; her creations animated fragments of the world around us, inviting viewers to immerse themselves in a symphony of hues and forms.

Ultimately, Pamela Staker’s art celebrates the beauty that surrounds us—a testament to the power of creativity to elevate, inspire, and transform.

They aim to do this with exposure to its different practices and hands-on learning experiences. The organizers plan to achieve this by offering the bespoke workshops.

Fatma Almulla, Marketing Manager at A.R.M. Holding, said: “We firmly believe in the arts as a vital tool for empowering our youth, strengthening communities, and enriching our culture. Our commitment, as an organisation, is deeply rooted in supporting local talent, especially the youth, through targeted education and training programmes for them and their mentors as well. The success of A.R.M. Holding Children’s Programme over the years inspired us to broaden the initiative further. This year, we are introducing masterclasses for teachers, recognising that transformative arts education requires knowledgeable guides to unlock its full potential for students’ growth and motivation towards building a more harmonious and sustainable world.”

Art Dubai underscores its dedication to nurturing artistic scholarship and critical discourse. This is done with a special focus on voices from the Global South. Through an extensive year-round education and professional development programme, the fair works closely with local and regional partners to deliver ambitious cultural programming.

Empowering Youth Through Art: A.R.M. Holding Children’s Programme

“As an organisation, we passionately believe in the power of art and culture to enrich society by enhancing awareness, unlocking creativity, and fostering empathy through education. This is particularly important in today’s economy, where innovation and adaptability are key drivers of growth. Engaging youth in the arts not only prepares them for a diverse range of career paths but also contributes to solving broader economic challenges by developing a creative and skilled workforce. The generous support from A.R.M. Holding amplifies this mission, showcasing how corporates can help boost transformative education. By integrating arts into learning processes, we aim to create an ecosystem where cognitive and emotional development go hand in hand, making every learning experience not just informative, but truly transformative,” said Benedetta Ghione, Executive Director of Art Dubai.

Collaborating closely with Mugler’s creative director, Casey Cadwallader, Wellmann’s distinctive figures came to life in striking looks gracing the Parisian catwalk. Models adorned in skin-tight ensembles featured velvet prints of Wellmann’s figures intricately affixed to their torsos, feet, and legs, creating a mesmerizing visual spectacle that evoked a sense of bondage, as noted by WWD reporter Joelle Diedrich.

Set against a backdrop of darkness, reminiscent of the voids often depicted in Wellmann’s paintings, the runway presentation transported audiences into a surreal realm where art and fashion converged seamlessly. In a 2018 interview with Momus, Wellmann expressed her fascination with darkness, drawing parallels to the works of iconic artists such as Bosch and Goya, whose influences permeate her artistic vision.

Wellmann’s recent collaboration with Mugler marks another milestone in her burgeoning career, following her representation by Hauser & Wirth in December. Alongside a smaller New York gallery, Company, Hauser & Wirth is preparing to host a solo exhibition for the Canadian artist in New York later this year, coinciding with her inclusion in South Korea’s prestigious Gwangju Biennale.

Despite the buzz surrounding Wellmann’s ascent in the art world, her collaboration with Mugler was kept under wraps until the Paris Fashion Week show. Unlike typical announcements preceding such high-profile collaborations, the revelation occurred quietly, with Wellmann making a discreet appearance in the audience alongside the Mugler runway.

The amalgamation of Wellmann’s surreal aesthetic with Mugler’s avant-garde designs captivated audiences and critics alike, offering a glimpse into the innovative possibilities when art and fashion intersect. As the boundaries between disciplines blur, collaborations like this serve as a testament to the enduring influence of artistic expression in shaping cultural narratives on a global stage.

As Mugler’s runway collection makes waves in the fashion industry, Wellmann’s evocative paintings continue to captivate audiences, reinforcing her position as a leading figure in contemporary art. With her upcoming solo exhibition and participation in esteemed international exhibitions, Wellmann’s artistic journey promises to inspire and enthral audiences worldwide.
