Alserkal Art Month 2026: The ultimate opening weekend guide

Alserkal Avenue in Dubai has launched its 2026 Art Month, expanding its traditional week-long celebration into a five-week program. The opening weekend features 18 participating galleries debuting flagship exhibitions, including a solo show by Anthony Akinbola at Carbon 12 and a 20th-anniversary group exhibition at Gallery Isabelle. Key highlights include interactive screen-printing workshops with Shilpa Gupta and the unveiling of her public art installation, "Still A Sky We Hold," alongside curated tours and artist talks.

Art Dubai announces details for revised 2026 edition

Art Dubai has unveiled the details for its 2026 "special edition," which features a significantly reduced scale in response to ongoing regional conflict. The fair will host 50 galleries—a sharp decline from the 120 participants in 2025—with a strategic focus on regional representation, as nearly two-thirds of the exhibitors hail from the Middle East. To compensate for the smaller commercial footprint, the event will deepen its ties with local institutions like the Sharjah Art Foundation and Alserkal Avenue through expanded collaborative programming.

Art Dubai Adapts to Conflict with “Special Edition”

Art Dubai has announced a significantly scaled-back "special edition" of its 20th-anniversary fair, set for May 14–17 at the Madinat Jumeirah venue. The fair was postponed and reformatted due to the US-Israel war in Iran, which caused major logistical disruptions in the Strait of Hormuz and spiked oil prices, hampering air travel in the UAE. It will now feature only 50 exhibitors, a reduction of nearly 60% from the originally planned 120.
