About Art Dubai 2022
Art Dubai is the Middle East’s leading international art fair every March in Dubai, UAE.
The fair cements its role over the past 15 years in being a significant catalyst in the local, regional and international conversations on art from the Middle East and surrounding region (MENASA – Middle East, North Africa & South Asia), and putting art from these territories onto the global map.
As one of the world’s most international art fairs, Art Dubai has further expanded its commitment to cultivating a culture of discovery, offering exciting new global perspectives and broadening conversations about art beyond traditional Western-led geographical scopes and narratives. The fair drives meaningful engagement with the region’s rich cultural heritage and contemporary art practices. It extends to Southeast and Central Asia, Africa, and Latin America through presentations across its gallery sections.
In its role as a talent incubator, the fair launches a pad and development platform for the successful careers of artists, curators, and art professionals to continue to celebrate art excellence through its extended fair programming and initiatives. It also works closely with its partners to produce innovative art programming and support the cultural community.
Being part of a vibrant and dynamic local art ecology, Art Dubai operates in close collaboration with institutions that are the heartbeat of artistic production in the UAE, such as the Jameel Arts Centre, Ishara Art Foundation, and Sharjah Art Foundation, among others, as well as many exclusive galleries.
