ART DUBAI 2022
Take a leap into the future as Art Dubai 2022 intersects NFTs , digital art and big data artists with the most exciting names in contemporary art .
As the curtain rises on the year 2022 , cultural initiatives across the Gulf region , and in particular in Dubai , took centre stage . There is a collective eagerness among art practitioners and audiences alike to move on from the pandemic , to be inspired and grow , bolstered by new technologies and alternative solutions to make the cultural sector sustainable . Dubai and its neighbours through their diverse creative scenes are a splendid illustration of this .
Art Dubai celebrated its 15th edition back at home in Madinat Jumeirah last month from 11-13 March 2022 . It was the largest edition to date with 115 presentations across the fair ’ s Contemporary , Modern , Bawwaba and Digital sections ( 30 participating for the first-time ) from over 40 countries .
The theme running through the fair was timely : that of digital art and NFTs . It was the subject of the Global Art Forum ‘ This is the Picture ’, elements of the extensive education programming , such as Campus Art Dubai 9.0 Blockchain , and a new curated section of the fair , Art Dubai Digital .
