Dubai in the United Arab Emirates has become a prime tourist destination and the gateway to immersive cultural experiences. Until April 2025, the popular Middle Eastern emirate becomes host to a season dedicated to art in all its forms, from bold graffiti to traditional oil painting, through initiatives, entertainment, and festivals. From April 17 to 20, 2025, the Dubai World Trade Centre, noted as the biggest event space in the MENA, will transform into a global art hub, showcasing over 10,000 artworks from more than 400 artists and galleries representing 65+ countries.
For art enthusiasts, collectors, and creatives alike, this is an unmissable celebration of creativity, culture, and community. For those seeking inspiration, World Art Dubai is a must-visit. As art becomes an increasingly important tool in interior design, practitioners will find a wealth of unique pieces to elevate their projects, while F&B businesses and real estate developers can discover art that transforms spaces and creates unforgettable experiences, within a range of budgets.
Now in its 11th edition, World Art Dubai has firmly established itself as the region’s largest and most accessible retail art fair. Whether you’re a seasoned collector or a first-time buyer, the event offers something for everyone. With art pieces starting at just $100, the fair democratises art ownership, making it possible for anyone to take home a piece of global creativity. From emerging talents to established artists, the diversity of styles and genres on display is staggering—spanning contemporary, abstract, traditional, and everything in between.
But World Art Dubai is more than just an art fair; it’s an immersive experience. Attendees can look forward to interactive workshops, live performances, and thought-provoking discussions that foster creativity and cultural exchange. For families, it’s a chance to engage in hands-on activities, while for professionals like interior designers and real estate developers, it’s a treasure trove of inspiration. The event also serves as a vital platform for artists to connect with businesses, from F&B establishments looking to enhance their spaces to developers seeking to integrate art into their properties.
This year, World Art Dubai introduces an exciting new initiative in partnership with One Central, Dubai: World Art Dubai Public Art. This groundbreaking project brings art beyond the confines of gallery walls and into public spaces, making it accessible to a broader audience. Selected artworks will be on display at business district One Central until April 30, 2025, offering a preview of the creativity and innovation that awaits at the main event.
The fair’s tagline, ‘Where the World’s Art Comes Together,’ perfectly encapsulates its mission to unite artists, collectors, and businesses under one roof. As one featured artist from the Philippines put it, “”The turnout at World Art Dubai is truly amazing. It’s a testament to the event’s significance in the art world and its ability to draw in enthusiasts and creators alike.”
