Created by the Art Dubai Group, Editions debuted this year to expand Dubai’s cultural offerings, highlighting works that are underrepresented in the region. As the only platform in the Middle East dedicated to high-quality, limited edition works at variable prices, the fair aims to make art and design more accessible, creating new opportunities for the public to engage with contemporary creatives.
The fair hosts exhibitions from regional and international centers, with participants from the UAE, Lebanon, Kuwait, Jordan, and international representations from Germany, Colombia, Italy, Lithuania, and France.
