Hey All,

I'm a new crafter in Dubai.....I'm just wondering how/where I can find out about all of the craft markets/fairs in the city so I can join....

Any ideas? I already know about the ARTE one...what about the others, like school ones?? I don't have kids, so I'm far from knowing anything about the schools here.

Yes Sandy, JLT market is finally up and running again from this Fri onwards, 11am - 6 pm, DM and Police approval having now been given to do so. However, trade licence needs to be provided to rent a table. I understand it will take place every Fri until end April.

Yes it is a bit difficult to find out about the fairs to start with. After you have been to a number of them you tend to get added to lists but often I rely on crafter and artist friends sending on emails they get about fairs. I just got an email yesterday about a weekly one in al Ain plus there is an Easter Bazaar at Arabian Ranches Golf Club on 22nd April (a bit more pricey) and there are the Friday markets at Uptown Mirdiff and Motor City run by the Covent Garden people (search for 'Friday Markets' on facebook - set up as a person for some reason).

theres an Arte one on in Al Hamra Mall, RAK this weekend. 25th I think. Also a new one started at JLT but not sure if it's still going? That one was weekly...I'd start with the artisans at any of the Arte ones though. Yup, 2-9pm this Friday.

Why don't you ask the other crafters at ARTE market, surely they do other markets too. What do you make/sell? I haven't been to the ARTE one yet. Just heard about it. Was hoping for some names of markets to google. But good idea for when I get to ARTE!

Quite a few school markets have just finished up - JESS, JAPS, JPS, and ASD. I think that might be it for spring fairs before it starts to heat up. Maybe someone else has ideas of any other upcoming school markets. <em>edited by rosierat on 20/03/2011</em>
