Art Dubai

This annual art event featuring regional and international artists takes place in the spring at Madinat Jumeirah. Since its inception in 2006, Art Dubai has grown tremendously as a showcase of contemporary art in the region. Collectors, artists and art patrons gather on the opening night to celebrate winners of the Abraaj Group Art Prize and the Global Art Forum. Over the next four days, the general public can view the galleray halls at a cost of 50 dirham (about $13) for a one-day pass. Art Dubai’s program also encompasses commissioned projects and performances, artists' and curators' residencies, and educational workshops.
