Quint has strived to promote art and culture in the city, and the calendar is a very simple, yet beautiful way to connect the 187 nationalities who live in Dubai to the streets and stories of the city, encouraging them to open their eyes and minds to the things around them.

Quint gave the calendar book to their partners, art galleries, creative spaces, cafes and public

libraries in the city, where it became a display piece, opened conversations, and got people

thinking about Dubai in a new way. Many residents who have come across the calendar have

written to Quint requesting their own copy.

People also wrote in to Quint, to suggest other objects and quirky things they associate with

Dubai's culture, and now Quint has enough crowd-sourced suggestions to create calendars till
