The following edition of the famous Art Dubai is going to take place on 29 March – 3 April 2021.

Art Dubai is a special platform that represents galleries from around the world showcasing contemporary art pieces as well as a big variety of talks, performances, and special events to attend as part of the programming. The exhibition gives a start for many local talents, organizations, and initiatives.

Art Dubai has become the main catalyst in local, regional, and international conversations on art from MENASA – the Middle East to North Africa, South Asia, and the surrounding regions, marking art onto the global map extending to the African continent, Latin America, and Australasia.

 

The 14th edition of Art Dubai is focused on cultivating education, mentorship, and thought leadership. Such initiatives as the International Curators Programme will enhance international interaction and dialogue to solve problems and challenges connected with the development of those spheres.
