"The revised fair reflects both logistical challenges and shifting priorities in the wake of the U.S.-Israel war on Iran. Featuring just 50 exhibitors, two-thirds of which are based in or have outposts in the region, the fair has been reduced in size by roughly 57 percent."
"Organizers said in an email that, in times of uncertainty, 'some things must go on, and Art Dubai is one of them.' The fair has also introduced a 'risk-sharing' model for booth fees, which will involve participating galleries paying only a percentage of their total sales, capped at their equivalent booth fee."
"Benedetta Ghione, the executive director of Art Dubai Group, said that the current situations means that this 'may not be what we had planned to mark our 20th edition,' but that galleries and programming represent what makes Dubai 'unique and special.'"
Art Dubai's 20th-anniversary edition has been postponed to May 15-17, reflecting logistical challenges due to the U.S.-Israel war on Iran. The fair will feature 50 exhibitors, a reduction of 57 percent from the original plan of 120 exhibitors. A new risk-sharing model for booth fees will allow galleries to pay a percentage of their sales. Dubai-based galleries make up over a third of participants, alongside regional and international dealers. The event will also include artist installations and partner programming with local organizations.
