Art Dubai
Art Dubai 2027 opens to the public from 9 to 11 April (preview days 7–8 April) at Madinat Jumeirah. The fair has five sections: the main galleries, Zamaniyyat revisiting twentieth-century modernists, Bawwaba for emerging artists’ solo shows, digital art, and projects beyond the booth; after hours, After Dark brings DJs to Fort Island. The 2027 exhibitors are not yet set; the work below is a 2026 example.
Zamaniyyat sets twentieth-century modernists from the Middle East, Africa, Asia and Latin America in dialogue; Bawwaba gives emerging artists solo shows; the digital section is for screen and installation work.
Choose one section and take it slowly, rather than skimming row after row of booths.
Last year, first-time exhibitor Galerie Frank Elbaz placed Sheila Hicks’s textiles beside Machiko Ogawa’s porcelain, fired with silica sand and feldspar.
One soft, one hard: up close, the fibre and the glaze show how material itself becomes the work.
