Following the success of Art Dubai 2025 – which welcomed over 35,000 visitors and showcased 120 presentations from more than 35 countries – the fair returns in 2026 for its milestone 20th edition.
Since its founding, Art Dubai has grown into the leading global platform for art from the Middle East, North Africa, South Asia, and diverse global contexts. The 2025 edition reaffirmed this role, presenting groundbreaking projects, innovative commissions, and bold new voices across our Contemporary, Modern, Bawwaba, and Digital sections. Highlights included record institutional acquisitions, robust collector engagement, and a multifaceted talks programme that bridged artistic and critical ideas.
In 2026, we look forward to celebrating two decades of Art Dubai with a special anniversary edition that honours the past and we invite you to join us in imagining the future. Art Dubai is the leading voice of the region’s cultural scene, offering an international platform to its artistic community. The 2025 edition of the fair was covered in over 4000 articles by media from 50 countries – find highlight coverage below.
