Founded in 2007, Art Dubai is the most significant global art gathering in the
Middle East. A catalyst for the rapid growth of the region’s art scene and
creative economy, Art Dubai provides an important gateway for discovery,
learning and exchange, championing galleries and artists from less-
represented geographies. Each year Art Dubai spotlights around 120
contemporary, modern and digital galleries from over 40 countries. The gallery
programme is accompanied by artist commissions, an ambitious education
programme and the most extensive talks programming of any international art
fair.
Art Dubai reflects the robust growth and spirit of its home city – a
cosmopolitan hub of innovation and the Gulf region’s financial and
commercial hub. With over 40 commercial galleries, global auction houses,
and a rapidly expanding private and corporate collector base, it is also the
centre of the region’s art market.
Art Dubai works in partnership with government and businesses to develop and
deliver ambitious long-term initiatives to support the long-term growth of the
UAE’s cultural sector. These include the Dubai Collection - the first institutional art
collection for the city of Dubai; Dubai Public Art, a multi-year and city-wide
public realm commissioning programme; the most extensive cultural
education programmes in UAE schools, developed in partnership with A.R.M.
Holding, and Campus Art Dubai, which supports the next generation of
cultural leaders through professional development, training and mentoring.
