The Arab Art Fair takes place at Chelsea Old Town Hall.
The Arab Art Fair is set to take place in London. Running from 23 to 24 January 2026, it takes place at the Chelsea Old Town Hall in Chelsea. The event brings together an exciting programme of exhibitions and art talks, and here’s how to join the event.
The Arab Art Fair offers visitors a chance to explore compelling contemporary works from across the Arab world. The fair focuses on contemporary artworks that are carefully reviewed by a specialised artistic committee. The aim is to ensure each piece meets high standards of quality.
Across its past three editions, the Arab Art Fair has attracted thousands of artist applications, with around 200 artists from 13 countries selected to exhibit. The result is a vibrant blend of established names and rising talents, brought together in a dynamic celebration of Arab creativity.
Visitors hoping to discover standout pieces should attend the preview day to make the most of the experience. The selection process also ensures that the artworks remain reasonably priced, giving collectors and first-time buyers alike the opportunity to secure exceptional deals.
The organisers have not yet announced the full list of artists in London. The fair took place in Beirut in December. Visitors could visit curated walkthroughs and discover new voices from Lebanon, Syria, Palestine, Iraq and Jordan. Daily panels featured cultural leaders, unique booths and a growing platform for contemporary Arab expression, making it a standout event in the region’s cultural calendar.
