Art Dubai is an international art fair that takes place every March in Dubai, the United Arab Emirates. Founded in 2007, the fair is the leading art fair of the Middle East, North Africa and South Asia, presenting a globally diverse lineup of over 90 galleries from around 40 countries, from household names to emerging art spaces. Art Dubai is one of the major events on the international arts calendar, attracting over 27,000 visitors in 2016 – including UAE-based, regional and international collectors, curators, patrons and 95 visiting museums and institutions. Alongside its gallery halls, Art Dubai’s programming includes commissioned artists’ and curators’ projects, residencies, the most extensive non-for-profit educational programme of any international art fair, an annual exhibition of works by winners of the Abraaj Group Art Prize, and the Global Art Forum.
