Global Art Forum is an annual transdisciplinary arts conference, combining original thinking and contemporary themes in an intimate, live environment. Each year, the Forum brings together a diverse line-up of artists, curators, musicians, writers and thought leaders from around the world to explore a contemporary and forward-looking theme through a series of talks, panel discussions and performances. Since 2007, Global Art Forum has brought together over 500 global minds from pop culture to renowned academia and been a key part of Art Dubai’s extensive cultural programming.

Central to Global Art Forum’s continuing success is the dialogue the platform fosters across disciplines, reporting from every part of the world to paint a truly 21st century portrait of how the globalised world thinks. Recently, the Forum has been invited to present special editions at the Royal Academy of Arts, London and the ArtScience Museum, Singapore.
