Abu Dhabi Art redefines the concept of an art fair by extending its scope beyond the exhibition halls to encompass a year-round public programme. Through large-scale installations, curated exhibitions, artist talks, and cultural events staged across the city, the fair fosters sustained engagement with contemporary art and its communities. The annual November edition serves as the highlight of this ongoing initiative, offering a vital sales and visibility platform for participating galleries while showcasing ambitious, site-specific works to an international audience.
Marking its 17th edition, Abu Dhabi Art 2025 will feature over 140 galleries representing more than 35 countries and 50 cities, the largest iteration to date. This year introduces first-time participants from Algeria, the Netherlands, Peru, Senegal, and Tanzania, expanding the fair’s global reach. In addition to gallery presentations, visitors can experience curated exhibitions, commissioned projects, performances, workshops, talks, and guided tours across the capital.
