Founded in 2008, ARTUAE has grown into one of the region’s most dynamic cultural platforms, connecting artists, collectors, institutions, and communities through exceptional exhibitions and initiatives. Over 17 years, we have curated 170 exhibitions and represented 1,700 artists from more than 40 countries, making us a trusted voice in the global art conversation.
Our work blends heritage and innovation, showcasing the UAE’s rich cultural identity while embracing new forms of creative expression. From flagship events at Armani Hotel Burj Khalifa and Sheikh Zayed Gallery, to thematic exhibitions in Shangri-La Dubai and international residencies, ARTUAE has become a hub for artistic excellence.
We operate across four pillars:
Exhibitions & Fairs – Delivering curated experiences in iconic venues across the UAE and abroad.
Artist Development – Supporting emerging and established talent with mentorship, awards, and global exposure.
Cultural Partnerships – Collaborating with embassies, brands, and cultural institutions to foster dialogue and exchange.
Investment & Innovation – Offering co-curation, co-founding opportunities, and art-based ventures for private investors.
Our upcoming projects include the Dubai Art Awards, Arab Art Awards, UAE Art Fair, the Abu Dhabi Art Experience Centre, and an international art residency in India.
At ARTUAE, we believe art is more than a visual experience—it’s a strategic investment, a cultural bridge, and a legacy. We connect visionaries, dignitaries, and high-net-worth individuals who share a passion for creativity and a commitment to shaping cultural history.
