Happy New Year to all of our vendors and visitors. We hope you enjoyed the festive season and managed to have a break.

In line with the change in the weekend days in the UAE announced by the government recently, the Arte handmade markets will be changing from being held on a Friday as they have been for the last 16 years, to being held on a Saturday from January 2022.

Check out the calendar on our website to see the new dates and when you can come along and visit all of our fabulous vendors.

Our first market of 2022 is at Times Square Center on Saturday 15th January and that is followed by the market at Mercato on Saturday 22nd January.

All of the Mercato and Times Square dates have been changed to reflect the new weekend but the market will be the same fantastic mix of vendors who all make their own products in the UAE with love and care as always.

So if you are looking for a special handmade gift, or a piece of art for your home, some handmade clothing or some home made edibles then come and check us out on a Saturday in our usual locations.
