The art gallery will be located in the city’s Downtown Opera District.


Dubai has long been a magnet for art lovers. From the annual Art Dubai fair to art programs at Alserkal Avenue, the city has a thriving cultural scene. And now, adding to this landscape is the JD Malat Gallery.

JD Malat Gallery is a London-based contemporary art gallery that’s now opening its doors in Dubai. Located in the Downtown Opera District, the gallery will welcome visitors in January 2025. 

The new gallery will cover a space of 1,700 square feet. It will host exhibitions rotating every six to eight weeks and even showcase works by international artists. Like its London counterpart in Mayfair, it will also be known for its dedication to discovering talent, often highlighting emerging talent from the Middle East.

But JD Malat Gallery isn’t just about art. True to its ethos, it plans to engage with public art initiatives and the local community and create experiences that go beyond a traditional gallery visit. Whether you’re a collector or a curious visitor, JD Malat Gallery hopes to provide something fresh to everyone.

For those unversed, JD Malat Gallery was founded in 2018 by Jean-David Malat, a gallerist with over 15 years of experience. Located in London’s Mayfair district, the gallery has built a reputation for its commitment to contemporary art. By branching out to Dubai, it aims to build a cultural bridge between Europe and the Middle East. 

Jean-David Malat’s vision for the Dubai space extends beyond simply replicating the London experience. Instead, the gallery aims to create a dialogue with local collectors, institutions, and creatives. By combining international flair with a local focus, the gallery is poised to become a popular spot in Dubai’s art scene. 

So, if you’re a local art lover or just interested in finding out what all the hype is about, this new gallery in Downtown Dubai promises a unique and inspiring experience.
