Art Dubai returns for its 2025 edition from April 18–20 at Madinat Jumeirah, with exclusive preview days on April 16 and 17. Since its inception in 2007, Art Dubai has grown into a vital platform for creative exchange, shaping the cultural landscape of the UAE and the wider region. More than just an art fair, it is a convening space for artists, curators, institutions, and collectors from around the world.
This year’s edition reaffirms Art Dubai’s commitment to innovation, dialogue, and artistic development through dynamic programming and strategic partnerships. Visitors can expect groundbreaking commissions and installations, including performances by renowned Mexican artist Héctor Zamora and a major new digital commission by Emirati artist Mohammed Kazem, presented by Julius Baer. The fair also introduces immersive works that explore the convergence of nature, technology, and human experience.
Art Dubai 2025 will host over 120 galleries across four curated sections—Contemporary, Modern, Bawwaba, and Digital—led by international curators Magalí Arriola, Nada Shabout, Mirjam Varadinis and Gonzalo Herrero Delicado. Intellectual engagement continues through the Global Art Forum titled The New New Normal and the second edition of the Digital Summit, After the Technological Sublime.
As part of its dedication to cultural education, the fair will also present the fifth edition of the A.R.M. Holding Children’s Programme, co-led by artists Peju Alatise and Alia Hussain Lootah. Art Dubai continues to lead with a spirit of collaboration—partnering with institutions like Alserkal Avenue and Dubai Culture—making it a cultural anchor in one of the world’s fastest-growing creative hubs.
