Art Dubai, the leading global platform for art and artists returns to Madinat Jumeirah Dubai from March 11-13.

Ahead of the public opening, the 15th edition of the global art forum opened on Wednesday for an exclusive preview running from March 9-10.

Art Dubai’s latest edition is the most ambitious and extensive to date, featuring over 100 contemporary and modern galleries from more than 40 countries across four main sections: contemporary, modern, Bawwaba and Art Dubai Digital; a series of ambitious new commissions by internationally renowned artists, ground-breaking group exhibitions and world-class education and talks programmes.

The event aims to further reinforce Dubai’s emergence as an international hub for art and culture and a major contributor to conversations about contemporary art.

Art Dubai 2022 includes more than 30 first-time participants, and over 50 per cent of the gallery programme is drawn from the Global South, reaffirming the fair’s position as the leading marketplace and meeting point for art and artists from this region.

New for 2022 is the debut of Art Dubai Digital, an innovative new digital art and NFT section that provides a comprehensive, 360-degree introduction to this fast-developing landscape, examining the context out of which NFTs, cryptocurrency, video art and virtual reality (VR) have grown since the rise of digital art in the 1980s.

Opening Hours:

  • Wednesday 9 and Thursday 10 March (by invitation only): 2:00 pm to 9:00 pm
  • Friday 11 and Saturday 12 March: 2:00 pm to 9:00 pm
