About Abu Dhabi Art

Abu Dhabi Art, in its third edition, is an annual boutique platform for modern and contemporary art and design bringing together galleries from all four corners of the world.

This year and for the first time, Abu Dhabi Art witnessed an important strategic change as it was held in Saadiyat Cultural District, where the Manarat Al Saadiyat exhibition space hosts a growing number of visitors and where the Zayed National Museum, Louvre Abu Dhabi and the Guggenheim Abu Dhabi will open.

Abu Dhabi Art is organised by TDIC (Tourism Development & Investment Company) and ADACH (Abu Dhabi Authority for Culture & Heritage), working further to establish Abu Dhabi as a catalyst for art and culture, locally, regionally, and internationally.

Galleries had a choice of the following sectors for the presentations of their works; Galleries, Signature, Bidaya, and Beyond and this year, we were also delighted to announce a new Design section for design galleries.

Look out for...

This year our visitors enjoyed a series of initiatives and spaces designed to promote, instigate and support the discussion and contemplation of Art and its ramifications.
