Dubai Art Week 2026 Announces Record Participation

Record numbers for the region's premier art event

Dubai Art Week 2026 has announced its most ambitious programme yet, with over 80 galleries, museums, and arts institutions participating across the emirate. This year's edition focuses on the theme of "Crossings" — exploring migration, trade routes, and cultural exchange in the contemporary Gulf.

The week-long celebration begins on March 10th and features a special collaboration between the Mohammed Bin Rashid Library and Alserkal Avenue, creating a cultural corridor from the Creek to Al Quoz.

Highlights include a new commission by Monira Al Qadiri for the Dubai Fountain, a major retrospective of Hassan Sharif's work at the MBR Library, and the debut of three new galleries in the DIFC district.
