Art Dubai presents its most extensive edition to date with over 100 galleries from 44 countries from across the Global South, including a new section dedicated to digital art.
His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, today attended the official opening of the 15th edition of Art Dubai, the region’s premier international art event, held at Madinat Jumeirah and running until March 13, Sunday.
He was accompanied by His Highness Sheikh Mansoor bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum and several senior officials.
He said that the UAE’s cultural sectors are seeing new energy and dynamism driven by the nation’s commitment to promoting creativity and its values of diversity, inclusiveness and tolerance.
Art Dubai is one of the many expressions of Dubai’s vision to be a global cultural hub and the centre of the worldwide creative economy.
The art fair’s steady growth into a leading event in the international cultural calendar reflects the nation’s aspirations to spur a cultural renaissance in the region by creating an environment for the world’s most creative minds to share their talent.
He said Dubai continues to raise its profile as a global centre of excellence for various art forms by providing a supportive environment for artistic talent from all over the world to thrive.
He further said that creativity is one of the vital elements that enable civilisations to flourish and nations to prosper.
For over 15 years, Art Dubai has been the annual meeting point for modern and contemporary art enthusiasts, developing a local collector and individual and corporate patron base from all over the world.
Championing artists from regions underrepresented in established collections, the 2022 edition sees half of its exhibitors come from the Global South, with notably strong representation in 2022 from the Middle East, South Asia and Africa.
