The management of "Art Dubai" has officially announced the postponement of its 20th edition, originally scheduled for March, to mid-May 2026. This decisive action was taken in response to the ongoing security escalation and geopolitical tensions in the Middle East, which have significantly disrupted commercial aviation, supply chains, and the international shipping of valuable artworks. In a press release, organizers stated that their utmost priority is ensuring the security and safety of all exhibitors, art collectors, and visitors, emphasizing that the new dates will provide a more stable environment befitting the exhibition's status as a leading global platform for contemporary art.
