Bahrain’s second contemporary art fair, Art Bahrain Across Borders (ArtBAB 2017), held under the patronage of Her Royal Highness Princess Sabeeka Bint Ibrahim Al Khalifa, wife of His Majesty the King and President of the Supreme Council for Women, promises to be a fusion of local, regional and international talent, with acclaimed artists and galleries from all corners of the world uniting under one roof.
ArtBAB 2017 will see more than 60 participants converge on the Bahrain International Exhibition and Conference Centre from Thursday to Sunday, spanning Europe, the Middle East, Asia, Africa and the United States, and with a very strong presence from Bahrain.
Thirty-six Bahraini participants will showcase their work at the ‘ArtBAB Pavilion’, a section dedicated exclusively to Bahraini artists who are being funded by Tamkeen, the project owners. Expats living in the kingdom will also display their work. There will also be 10 galleries exhibiting at the fair, in the dedicated ‘Gallery Pavilion’.
