Dubai’s art scene blossoms in March
If you admire contemporary art, then March is the perfect time of year to explore Dubai. Here we take a look at two exhibitions taking place so you can discover graffiti, robo-art and wearable art created by emerging and established artists.
Now in its 15th year, Art Dubai showcases artists and artworks from around the world. View works by the Amman-based design studio Naqsh Collective, which is run by sisters Nisreen and Nermeen who are renowned for creating contemporary pieces that feature traditional Palestinian motifs, and look out for Moroccan artist Hassan Hajjaj’s vibrant portrait photography.
With Art Dubai returning to Madinat Jumeirah from Thursday 10 March to Saturday 12 March 2022, the event promises fresh perspectives on the region’s cultural heritage while celebrating contemporary art across three galleries.
First, the Art Dubai Contemporary gallery will showcase international galleries, spanning emerging art spaces and established institutions, with the aim of introducing visitors to global art practices and achievements. The Art Dubai Modern gallery shines a spotlight on accomplished artists from across the Middle East, North Africa and South Asia (MENASA) region.
Finally, the Bawwaba gallery displays works created in the past year or specifically for the fair – as a result, it's ideal for discovering what’s hot in the art world right now.
Discuss the inspiring pieces you’ve seen over dinner at the beachside retreat Jumeirah Al Naseem or at Jumeirah Al Qasr, both of which are close to Madinat Jumeirah.
