An Artful Family Guide

Abu Dhabi Art takes place from 21-23 November at Manarat Al Saadiyat with the goal of making art a family affair.

If your family is keen to explore Abu Dhabi’s growing art scene, do not miss Abu Dhabi Art 2019 when it takes over Manarat Al Saadiyat from 21-23 November 2019.

Every year the art fair brings artists and art lovers from around the world to the capital to experience the Saadiyat Cultural District in all its art glory.

So, what you can you expect with a visit to Abu Dhabi Art? You can expect innovative artworks and an array of family-friendly artful offerings—most of which are free. A centrepiece of the fair is a collaboration with a local artist, and for this 11th edition of Abu Dhabi Art, the artwork of multidisciplinary artist and writer Ebtisam Abdulaziz will form the fair’s visual campaign.

Meanwhile, the Talks Programme will offer a series of stimulating cultural talks, conversations and book launches featuring some of the art world’s leading figures.

Especially for kids, The Art Studio at Manarat Al Saadiyat has a dedicated hands-on arts space which will offer programmed activities, inspired by Abu Dhabi Art.

Also, families can sign up for complimentary 45-minute educational and interactive guided tours of Abu Dhabi Art fair’s galleries, led by a Visitor Experience Specialist. Register at: manaratalsaadiyat@dctabudhabi.ae

For art-loving families, November can’t get here quick enough. So, mark your calendars for this year’s incarnation of Abu Dhabi Art.
