ART DUBAI 2025: THE GALLERIES ARE IN – AND IT’S BIGGER THAN EVER!

The Middle East’s premier art fair, Art Dubai, is back for its 2025 edition, and the exhibitor lineup is nothing short of spectacular. Set to take over Madinat Jumeirah from April 18 to 20 (with exclusive previews on April 16 and 17), this year’s event brings together 100+ galleries from over 50 cities, including more than 20 first-time participants.

From cutting-edge contemporary to rare modern masterpieces, from bold digital frontiers to solo showcases in Bawwaba, Art Dubai 2025 is set to be a powerhouse of artistic discovery. This year’s lineup reaffirms Dubai’s status as a cultural force—where global meets local, and innovation meets tradition.

Art Dubai Artistic Director Pablo del Val sums it up best: “Dubai is the beating heart of the Middle East’s art market, and this year’s galleries reflect its dynamism and diversity. We’re continuing to tell the stories of migration, exchange, and creativity shaping our world.”
