Abu Dhabi Art 2025

Abu Dhabi Art 2025
Nov 19, 2025 – Nov 23, 2025

Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates

Abu Dhabi Art 2025 returns this November as the culmination of a vibrant year-round program dedicated to advancing visual culture throughout the emirate. Held under the patronage of His Highness Sheikh Khaled bin Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan and supported by a Host Committee chaired by Her Highness Shaikha Salama bint Hamdan Al Nahyan, the fair continues to affirm Abu Dhabi’s role as a global meeting point for artistic dialogue and exchange.

The fair brings together an exceptional selection of local and international galleries, each presenting artworks within considered curatorial frameworks. Modern and contemporary galleries are invited to participate, showcasing a diverse array of voices and practices, while galleries operating for at least three years may propose up to three-artist presentations that stand alone or complement other sectors of the fair. Through this structure, Abu Dhabi Art reinforces its commitment to depth, quality, and thoughtful exhibition design.

Across the emirate, visitors will encounter installations, special commissions, and exhibitions that extend beyond the fairgrounds, allowing art to weave into the daily life of the city. These interventions continue to shape Abu Dhabi as an open and evolving cultural landscape where contemporary creativity meets historical resonance.

A highlight of the 2025 edition is the evolution of the Collectors Salon, which places a renewed emphasis on South Asian art. This expanded presentation brings together manuscripts, astrolabes, rare books, and historical objects, displayed in dialogue with modern and contemporary works. The approach echoes the spirit of the Louvre Abu Dhabi’s vision, encouraging an appreciation of how cultures intertwine and influence one another across centuries.

An online talk, scheduled for October, will offer early insights as participating galleries share highlights and discuss the stories behind the works they will unveil. It invites collectors and enthusiasts alike to engage in a lively exchange—and to preview the richness that Abu Dhabi Art 2025 promises to offer.
