World Art Dubai, the region’s largest contemporary retail art fair, is back for its ninth edition at the Dubai World Trade Centre from March 9 to March 12, 2023. With over 300 exhibitors from more than 60 countries, the four-day art fair will showcase a diverse collection of accessible and original art, ranging from emerging artists to established talent.
This year’s event promises to be the biggest art-filled event to date, with a range of new initiatives and programs. For instance, World Art Dubai is delighted to announce the return of Urban Art DXB, an exhibit featuring a dedicated area with live street art activations, freestyle dances, and urban fashion led by talented creative Ahmad Al Rashid. The event also features a new Matchmaking Programme that aims to connect rising artists with established galleries, giving local artists the opportunity to have their work seen not just locally but also internationally.
In addition, the exhibition will also embrace the continuous upward trend of NFTs, showcasing the latest in digital art. As the UAE becomes home to one of the strongest and biggest NFT communities in the world, NFT exhibitors at World Art Dubai will have their chance to showcase their work to thousands of visitors.
Asma Al Sharif, Assistant Vice President at Exhibitions, Dubai World Trade Centre, said, “We are thrilled to partner with the Embassy of South Korea to celebrate the rich culture of South Korea and offer a gateway to the country’s rich culture and traditions throughout the exhibition, in addition to World Art Dubai’s Urban Art experience, Matchmaking Programme and supporting the continuous demand for NFTs.”
