Over the past 5 years, the art scene in the UAE has grown rather exponentially, with the steady progress of local galleries exhibiting museum quality artworks, by regional and international artists. Strong gallery programs, the opening of cultural institutions and initiatives such as Art Dubai contribute greatly to the global recognition the UAE art market has gained.

Art Dubai is the leading regional art fair, that takes place annually in Dubai. Founded in 2007, Art Dubai is the preeminent platform to see contemporary artworks from 48 international galleries.

What makes this fair so significant, is the bridging of cultures, the exchange of ideas, networking, educational programs and access to contemporary artists. Art Dubai’s program offers something to everyone, whether it’s just having a look around and learning about different galleries and artists, or attending talks and panel discussions. The fair is much more than just a commercial exchange.
