The fair will feature over 100 contemporary, modern and digital art galleries
from over 40 countries including 30 first-time participants
The leading global platform for art and artists from the Middle East and Global South, Art Dubai’s 16th edition will present over 100 galleries from 43 countries across four gallery sections: Contemporary, Modern, Bawwaba and Art Dubai Digital.
The 2023 fair will include 30 first-time participants and over 60 per cent of the gallery programme is drawn from the Global South, reaffirming Art Dubai’s position as the leading marketplace for art from this region.
“Art Dubai is a global fair, and the strength of the applications we received for our 2023 edition reflect Art Dubai’s increasing importance as the region’s premier art event, the gateway to the Global South and the maturing of the art market here in Dubai,” says Pablo del Val, Artistic Director. “We’re particularly pleased to welcome so many first-time exhibitors into the Art Dubai family. Dubai is rapidly developing into a global financial and technology hub – the city is booming, and is a place that generations of people from all over the world call home.”
This year the fair will also see the return of Art Dubai Digital, which launched in 2022. This physical section of Art Dubai provides an annual 360-degree snapshot of the digital art landscape, building bridges between the art and technology worlds, and exploring how artists are utilising new, immersive technologies to collapse the boundaries
of the traditional art world.
Stay tuned for a full review of Art Dubai 2023.
