Art Dubai Contemporary welcomes applications from commercial galleries around the world that operate in the primary market and have been established for at least two years. This section features presentations in spaces ranging from 25-80 m2. Final selections will be based on the curatorial strength of the gallery programme, the submitted proposal and congruity with Art Dubai's identity. Art Dubai Contemporary applications will be reviewed by the Art Dubai Selection Committee.
