Art Dubai 2026 Postponed and Adjusted Due to Regional Conflict

Art Dubai 2026 has been postponed and will take place from May 14 to 17 due to the ongoing conflict in the Middle East. The decision was made after discussions with participants, as the violence has disrupted travel and the transport of artworks, leading to gallery withdrawals. The event will have a more focused and flexible format, remaining in-person. The situation in the region remains uncertain, with explosions continuing in several countries, making it difficult to plan for international dealers and collectors. The transport of artworks to and from the Middle East has essentially stopped since the start of the war, with limited flight capacity.
