An annual initiative aims to provide three emerging artists in the UAE with a platform from which to develop their practice and realise ambitious art projects.
Abu Dhabi Art invites established and well-known artists to create site-specific works in historic sites in Al Ain and the wider Abu Dhabi emirate, to activate these sites and draw new audiences to them.
Bringing art to the fair and public arena, Abu Dhabi Art provides a platform for installations and collaborates with curators and partners to bring exhibitions and projects to the art fair and different locations in Abu Dhabi.
Abu Dhabi Art works with a number of artists and curators to provide a strong performance component at the fair, with site-specific performances commissioned in different locations throughout the city, or experienced through the virtual platform.
A series of stimulating cultural talks featuring curators and artists from the art fair and leaders from the UAE’s art institutions alongside other renowned art professionals on a diverse range of cultural topics.
