The UAE is an internationally recognized art hub in the Middle East, with large-scale events happening in Dubai and Abu Dhabi. One of them, Abu Dhabi Art 2024 will be held on November 20-24 at Manayat Al Saadiyat. This year, the famous art fair welcomes 104 local and international galleries, along with other representatives of the contemporary art industry.
About Abu Dhabi Art 2024
Abu Dhabi Art is an annual high-end art fair organized in the emirate under the patronage of His Highness Sheikh Khaled bin Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, the Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi. It is held every November to culminate the visual art program of the earlier months. It welcomes a large number of local and international galleries, artists, art dealers, and collectors under one roof, with themed events held both at Manayat Al Saadiyat and other locations across the emirate. This year’s most-awaited parts of the fair’s program include Beyond Emerging Artists, an exhibition of the UAE’s most promising new voices, and the Community Partners Project “Craft as Language,” which familiarizes visitors with the unique Emirati crafts and cultural artifacts.
All participants go through meticulous screening and selection by the internal committee at the Department of Culture and Tourism in Abu Dhabi, with every willing contender being able to submit a proposal on the art fair’s official website. The committee also issues direct invitations to guest curators and international-grade modern and contemporary art galleries. The upcoming art fair will also feature the 2024 collectors forum, where seasoned collectors will be able to engage in meaningful conversations with galleries, art curators, and trend-setting artists.
Abu Dhabi Art’s interesting peculiarity is partnership with one new artist every year, which is known as Abu Dhabi Art Visual Campaign. The chosen artist is entrusted with developing the art fair’s visual concept and style. This year’s artist is Mohammed Kazem, who is represented by the Dubai-based Gallery Isabelle.
