Contemporary Art in Dubai

In only a few years, Dubai has established itself as a hub of contemporary art. A large number of galleries and art venues have sprung up here, the better known of which include The Third Line, the Green Art Gallery and the impressive XVA Gallery in the Bastakiya district in the old part of town. There are more than 70 galleries in Dubai today, most of which can be found in the Al Quoz and Jumeirah districts. As well as these, Art Dubai, the biggest contemporary art fair in the Middle East, encompasses no fewer than 75 galleries and 30 countries.
