Abu Dhabi Art Fair
How do you put Middle Eastern talent on the global art map?
Projex were delighted to work with Abu Dhabi Art for the fourth year in a row in 2015.
Taking place over four days, Abu Dhabi Art is the region’s biggest art fair, growing in size and prestige each year.

Client: Department of Culture & Tourism – Abu Dhabi
Event: Abu Dhabi Art Fair
Date: 2015
Venue: Manarat Al Saadiyat, Abu Dhabi
It attracts over 25,000 international guests, with more than 40 exhibiting galleries.
We were delighted to be involved again.


This year’s show, with a new theme colour of yellow, was spread over a vast 4,000 square metres at Manarat Al Saadiyat.
Projex removed the wall between two galleries to create a single, spacious art fair, and built plinths for over 20 public art installations.

We also designed and built a new outside majlis with breath-taking views of the Saadiyat beach and the St Regis Hotel.
The result was a vibrant, dynamic, modern space that reflected the art fair’s vision.



Projex was responsible, in partnership with DCT, for the delivery of the overall event including:
- Event design and management of the VIP reception
- Fabrication and installation of each gallery including lighting and gallery walls
- Production and implementation of all graphic signage
- Traffic management and implementation
- Stage management and fabrication of the auditorium
- Design and fabrication of VIP majlis
- Event lighting
- Supply of event furniture.
