About the Fair

Art Dubai 2027 is the fair’s next edition, building on what organizers describe as the 2026 Special Edition and continuing the fair’s role as a convening platform for the contemporary art markets of the Middle East, South Asia and Africa alongside international exhibitors. Alongside the main Art Dubai Galleries section, the 2027 edition again runs Bawwaba, solo presentations by emerging to mid-career artists curated by Amal Khalaf; Zamaniyyat, the fair’s Modern section curated by Dr. Sarah A. Rifky; Art Dubai Digital, curated by Nadine Khalil with Ulrich Schrauth; and Art Dubai Extended, installation, sculpture, sound and performance work across the fair campus, curated by Alexie Glass-Kantor. Galleries are selected by an Art Dubai Selection Committee of William Lawrie, Franco Noero, Priyanka Raja and Andrée Sfeir-Semler.
