Abu Dhabi Art will take part in physical format this year not despite, but because of the challenges that have faced the art eco-system during the pandemic, because it has been able to adapt and still contribute to cultural growth and to the art market in these challenging times, returning in renewed form. We look forward to welcoming visitors and community back to the fair this November.”
