NOMAD Abu Dhabi 2026

Modern airport interior with greenery accents, Old Abu Dhabi airport

NOMAD Abu Dhabi is back this 2026, designed by renowned architect Paul Andreu, that brings together contemporary art, collectible design, large-scale installations, and a dynamic cultural programme in one of the city’s most iconic architectural landmarks.

The full list of participating galleries, artists, and installations is yet to be announced but if previous editions are anything to go by, NOMAD Abu Dhabi 2026 is set to be one of the region’s cultural highlights of the year.

Rather than following the format of a conventional art fair, NOMAD encourages exploration, with each space revealing new perspectives on art, architecture, design, and the built environment. It’s an event where the setting is as much a part of the experience as the work themselves.

Alongside presentations from international galleries and designers, visitors can expect thought-provoking talks, live performances, and collaborations with leading cultural institutions.

Free entry, but registration is a must and you can register here: nomad-circle.com. For more updates, visit @nomadcircle on Instagram.
