Gallery Isabelle van den Eynde

Gallery Isabelle van den Eynde is one of the most significant and intellectually courageous contemporary art galleries in Dubai, founded by Isabelle van den Eynde in 2006 as B21 Gallery — one of the very first contemporary art spaces in the UAE. In 2010, she launched her eponymous gallery in Alserkal Avenue, consolidating her reputation for championing artists from the Middle East and North Africa who engage with urgent cultural, social, and political themes. The gallery prides itself on closely collaborative relationships with its artists, creating exhibition frameworks that challenge conventions around how art is displayed, contextualised, and received. The programme has included groundbreaking solo presentations and group shows that have earned the gallery international attention, with participation in Art Basel and other major fairs confirming its global standing. Artists represented include Vikram Divecha, Wael Shawky, Hassan Sharif, Tarek Al-Ghoussein, and Mounira Al Solh, among others. The gallery also contributes to the artistic discourse of the region through publications and public programmes. Located at Unit 17, Alserkal Avenue. Open Monday to Friday, 10am to 6pm; Saturday, 11am to 7pm. A vital and original force in the Dubai and wider Gulf art landscape.
