17th edition of Art Dubai, one of the biggest art fairs in the region, will be held from March 1 to 3

The premier international art fair in the Middle East, Art Dubai, takes place in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, every March.

In the last seventeen years, Art Dubai has solidified its position as a primary initiator of discourses on art from the Middle East and its surrounding regions (MENASA, or Middle East, North Africa, and South Asia) on a local, regional, and worldwide level, as well as placing art from these regions on the map of the world.

By providing fascinating new worldwide viewpoints and extending discussions about art beyond conventional western-led geographical scopes and narratives, Art Dubai is dedicated to fostering a culture of exploration. In addition to spreading to regions in Southeast and Central Asia, Africa, and Latin America, the fair fosters meaningful connection with the rich cultural legacy and current art practices of the area.

Through its expanded fair programming and activities, Art Dubai has served as a springboard and growth platform for the prosperous careers of artists, curators, and other art professionals. It also continues to promote the brilliance of art. 

In close partnership with organisations that are the hub of artistic output in the United Arab Emirates, including the Jameel Arts Centre, Ishara Art Foundation, Sharjah Art Foundation, Maraya Art Centre, Louvre Abu Dhabi, Salama Bint Hamdan Al Nahyan Foundation, Tashkeel, NYUAD Art Gallery, and Alserkal Avenue, Art Dubai is a part of a thriving and dynamic local art ecology.
