Art Fair 2014 brings together galleries & artists representing diverse cultures
from around the world. This Art Fair will be set in an inspiring and friendly ambience,
wherein various mediums of fine art will be on display, from the work of talented
emerging artists to popular names in the art fraternity. It is a unique platform
especially for artists to showcase their talent, and network with international
galleries for future business prospects.
There has been an increased interest in collecting art in the UAE, Art Fair was
born with the aim to act as a bridge between artists, art galleries and the local
art buying community, thus our vision "Aspire Art, Access Art, Acquire Art".
Visitors will get an opportunity to interact with the artists themselves, and speak
with the artist about their artistic career and work. Dubai is a cultural melting
pot and local art aficionados will have the chance to meet artists from various
countries and acquire their works directly from them.
ART Fair believes that art is international, essentially sans borders.
