Art Dubai 2025: What’s New at This Year’s Biggest Art Fair

This year’s programme promises a bold exploration of transformation and materiality, with newly commissioned works, live performances, and interactive digital installations. Expect to see major presentations from artists such as Héctor Zamora, who will debut a sculptural performance series, and Mohammed Kazem, whose digital installation – sponsored by Julius Baer – will envelop visitors in a shifting landscape of coordinates and moving waves. Art Dubai Digital will also introduce large-scale, AI-driven experiences, including an immersive Hybrid Xperience kaleidoscope designed to visualize dreams in real time.

Beyond the exhibits, Art Dubai is keeping its focus on education and accessibility, with the return of the A.R.M. Holding Children’s Programme. This year, young visitors will embark on a creative journey exploring local ecosystems through water, guided by Peju Alatise and Alia Hussain Lootah. Meanwhile, the fair’s signature talks, workshops, and panel discussions will continue to push the boundaries of contemporary artistic discourse, bridging local and international perspectives.

Tickets for Art Dubai 2025 are yet to go on sale, but if last year’s pricing is anything to go by, day passes are expected to start from Dhs100. With free parking available at Dubai Police Academy and shuttle buses to Madinat Jumeirah, getting there will be easy – whether you're a seasoned collector or simply looking for an inspiring weekend in the heart of Dubai’s art scene.
