Leila Heller Gallery Expands to New Alserkal Space

Iconic DIFC gallery opens second Dubai location

Leila Heller Gallery has announced the opening of a second Dubai space in Alserkal Avenue, set to launch in September 2026. The new 800-square-metre space will focus exclusively on emerging artists from the MENA region and Central Asia.

Gallery director Leila Heller said the expansion reflects the "extraordinary energy" coming from the regional art scene. The Alserkal space will host four to six exhibitions per year, with a focus on first-time solo shows by artists under 35.

The new space will also include a dedicated residency studio for two artists per season, selected through an open application process.
