Dubai-based galleries can apply for financial support when participating in international art fairs, as part of an initiative launched by Dubai Culture and managed by Art Dubai Group. The support programme provides local and Dubai-based artists increased exposure and access to new opportunities.

Galleries that have a full-time presence in Dubai, represent either Emirati artists or artists who have been based in the UAE for at least 3 years, and have a programme that is shown in Dubai outside the gallery space either through reputable institutions or art fairs, are eligible to apply. 

Eligible galleries can apply for the grant to support up to 50% of the booth for an international art fair, as determined by Dubai Culture, subject to the percentage of the booth dedicated to Emirati artists or artists who have been residents in Dubai for at least 3 years.
