Now in its 11th edition, World Art Dubai returns to the Dubai World Trade Centre from 2–5 May 2025 to make contemporary art more accessible to a broader audience. With over 4,000 pieces from 300+ galleries and artists representing more than 60 countries, the fair continues to position itself as the city’s most approachable platform for entry-level collectors, independent artists, and new voices. Unlike the more exclusive events on the regional art calendar, World Art Dubai operates with a different kind of openness — one that encourages dialogue, discovery, and direct engagement between artists and audiences.
