Aiming to be the bridge between artists, art galleries and the local art buying community in the UAE, Art Fair – Dubai is back with its second edition this year. To be held at the Address Hotel, Dubai Mall, between October 15 and 17, the fair will host more than 30 international galleries and artists from Korea, UK, Switzerland, Egypt, Myanmar, Singapore, India, among others.

Creating a unique opportunity for the local art buying community to ‘Access Art’ on a new platform, the organisers want to encourage people to acquire affordable art from various countries at one venue.

A VIP preview of the show will be inaugurated on October 15 and the show will be open to public on October 16 and 17. For registration, write to artfairdubai@gmail.com
