The event was held from 9am to 2pm at Moorish Café. Then in the evening, there were cultural performances at Muscat Hill club house. On the next day, the artists had a retreat at The Walk, The Wave, Muscat.

Zee Arts joined with Zaahirah Muthy, Amira D Rahim, Meilena Mladenova, Abdulhamid, Ahmed Alhusani, Shefali Ranther, Kasia Dzikowska for the cultural exchange. The exchange programme showcasing the works of the artists proved that each of them is gifted with a true talent.

During the programme, Jalal Luqman, UAE curator, spoke on the subject of art in the UAE, while Omani artist Saeed al Alawi talked about how to market your arts and art of Oman,

Both speakers captured interest and inspired everyone. They were invited to speak because of their knowledge and experience within the industry.
