Taking place at the Madinat Complex from March 20th to 23rd, Art Dubai features over 75 galleries from 30 countries, and showcases the works of over 500 artists.

Here are EW’s top tips for getting the most from the festival.

Global Art Forum

This year the topic under discussion is ‘Definitionism’. Join the debate with commissioned projects and research, plus live talks by artists, musicians, museum directors, strategists, writers and thinkers.

Children’s Art Educational Programme

Get the little ones involved this year with artist-conceived projects for children aged 3 to 14, including workshops, sketchbooks, and discovery tours.

Mobile Art Gallery

Operating from a peripatetic truck, this travelling gallery aims to get a broader audience involved by taking the art to you, so keep your eyes open for it.

DXB Store

Fashion meets art at the DXB store, where you can find limited-edition objects, jewellery, portable furniture, stationary and clothes that illustrate the originality and creativity of the featured artists.
