The annual art fair each November is the culmination of the year-round visual arts programme. The fair brings together a number of local and international galleries offering artworks for sale which are shown alongside exhibitions, artist commissions and installations both at the fair and across the emirate.
Dates & Times:
Wednesday 19 – Sunday 23 November 2025 | 2-9 PM
Manarat Al Saadiyat
Each year participating exhibitors are selected by an internal committee at the Department of Culture and Tourism – Abu Dhabi, based on proposals submitted through the Abu Dhabi Art website. Some exhibitors are directly invited to participate by guest curators in curated sectors. International Modern and Contemporary galleries present a wide range of artworks for sale by different artists.
Each year Abu Dhabi Art invites guest curators to contribute to the artistic programme, a series of exhibitions, talks and performances that bring diverse perspectives on global currents together. A varied programme of events takes place throughout the year before culminating with the Modern and Contemporary art fair in November.
Abu Dhabi Art works with different sponsors and partners to deliver the programme and the art fair.
Each year, Abu Dhabi Art collaborates with artists to create the fair’s visual campaign.
