Art Basel Qatar 2027

About Art Basel Qatar 2027

Art Basel Qatar 2027 takes place from 28–30 January 2027 in Doha, Qatar, with Preview Days on 26–27 January.

The second edition of Art Basel Qatar continues the fair's curated approach to contemporary art, bringing galleries, artists, collectors, cultural institutions and audiences together in Msheireb Downtown Doha.

Curatorial Theme: between / بين

The 2027 edition is shaped by the curatorial theme between / بين.

The theme explores the condition of being “between” as a generative space that remains open and resists a singular definition. It considers the possibilities created through encounter, exchange, relationships and different perspectives.

Artistic Director

Wassan Al-Khudhairi is the Artistic Director of Art Basel Qatar 2027. She brings extensive curatorial experience and longstanding connections to Qatar and the wider Middle East, North Africa and South Asia region.

What to Explore

Art Basel Qatar will maintain the curated format introduced for its inaugural edition, with gallery presentations taking the form of focused solo showcases that foreground individual artistic voices and respond to the fair's curatorial theme.

• Focused solo artist presentations
• Contemporary art from regional and international perspectives
• Expanded Special Projects
• Immersive artistic experiences
• Opportunities to discover artists, galleries and creative practices
• Connections across the Middle East, North Africa, South Asia and the broader international art world
