At Alaart, we see the Middle East not just participating in the global art world — but actively reshaping it.

From Abu Dhabi’s Saadiyat Island to Art Basel’s debut in Doha, the Gulf is emerging as a powerful cultural force. Abu Dhabi builds legacy through world-class institutions, Dubai leads with innovation, Riyadh roots art in place and transformation, and Doha rises as a global fair destination.

This isn’t a trend — it’s a turning point. The Gulf is no longer the backdrop; it’s the stage. Alaart is here to guide collectors, artists, and art lovers through this evolving, regional renaissance. Let’s connect. Find out more on how the region is shaping the future of the art world.
