Art Dubai Returns to Madinat Jumeirah for Its 2027 Edition

Art Dubai’s 2027 edition is set for 9 to 11 April, with preview days on 7 and 8 April, at the Madinat Jumeirah resort. Organizers describe the 2027 fair as building on the 2026 Special Edition, continuing Art Dubai’s role as a convening platform for the contemporary art markets of the Middle East, South Asia and Africa alongside international exhibitors.

Gallery applications for the 2027 edition opened in 2026, with submissions due by 9 October 2026 — the process that determines which galleries collectors and visitors will see on the fair floor the following spring.

Held annually at Madinat Jumeirah, a sprawling waterfront resort built in the style of a traditional Arabian citadel, Art Dubai has positioned itself for two decades as a bridge between the art markets of the Gulf region and the wider international circuit, drawing galleries and collectors from across Asia, Africa, Europe and the Americas.
