""There is a constituency of galleries for whom the fair didn't make sense, for a number of reasons-timing, logistics or the specific projects that they were planning to bring," Ghione says."
""By shifting the timeline, we've basically created a new slot in the calendar for ourselves," says fair director Benedetta Ghione."
Art Dubai's 2026 edition is rescheduled to May 15-17 due to the US-Israel war in Iran. The fair will host 50 regional and international galleries at Madinat Jumeirah, introducing new partnerships in its non-commercial program. A revised fee structure waives stand costs, charging galleries a percentage of sales instead. While many major UAE and international galleries will participate, around 75 galleries have withdrawn, citing various logistical and timing issues. Notable absentees include O Gallery and Dastan Gallery from Tehran, and several Indian galleries.
