Over 130 presentations from more than 40 countries and six continents, across four sections — Contemporary, Modern, Bawwaba (featuring exclusively new work) and Art Dubai Digital — these are just a few of the many highlights of the upcoming Art Dubai 2023. The event is a leading international art fair for the Middle East and Global South, and will run from 3-5 March at Madinat Jumeirah, Dubai. Further highlights of the programme include artwork premières by some of the world’s most exciting names, and a series of ten newly commissioned performance works by artists from across South Asia. “Art Dubai has always tried to reframe what an art fair can be, and this year’s expanded programme fully reflects our role as a meeting point for the region’s creative industries, both commercial and not-for-profit. As an innovative public-private partnership, we have been an incubator of talent, a catalyst for the creative economy here in Dubai, a convener of great minds, and an entry point to this vibrant ecosystem for the wider cultural sector,” said
