Dubai’s burgeoning art scene is undeniably growing year after year.
With Art Dubai being a major contributor to the region’s contemporary world, this highly anticipated event is back again with leading creators and thinkers for its 15th edition.
Under the patronage of His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, Art Dubai launched in 2007 and is now bigger than ever.
Ahead of the first official day of Art Dubai 2022, here’s everything you need to know about the 15th instalment of the region’s biggest art fair.
What to expect?
This year Art Dubai is welcoming over 100 exhibitors – of which 30 are participating for the very first time – from 44 countries. The fair will highlight international centres and emerging art scenes including museum-quality works by 20th-century masters from across the Middle East. The programme will be a platform for art enthusiasts to examine the worlds of digital artefacts, virtual reality and crypto economies, in this day and age.
Topics
With NFTs being the topic of discussion one of the key segments will include new communities that are supporting these worlds. To understand more about the present art landscape attendees will get a 360-degree overview of the crypto-sphere and international market.
