The story

Alserkal Art Week in Al Quoz

Alserkal Art Week has expanded into a month-long programme spanning five weekends each April into May at Alserkal Avenue in Al Quoz, opening sixteen gallery exhibitions on its first weekend alone, alongside Majlis Talks, open studios, workshops, reading groups and a closing moving-image programme run in partnership with Art Dubai.

Sixteen gallery exhibitions open simultaneously on a single opening weekend, a density that has pushed Alserkal Avenue's traditional single Art Week into a full month-long programme spanning five separate weekends.

What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

Expanding from a single concentrated weekend into a full month spanning five separate weekends, with galleries staggering their openings deliberately across that span, gives Alserkal Art Week a structure unusual among gallery-district art weeks, which typically concentrate everything into one weekend

02

The mystery stays covered

Alserkal Avenue's own pedestrian-only evening and weekend policy across its three entrances also shapes the event physically, turning the district itself into a walkable, car-free art precinct during peak visiting hours rather than leaving visitors to navigate traffic between galleries
