Abu Dhabi, UAE, November 11, 2026 – ult., the specialized insurance division of Chedid Insurance Brokers Network for asset and legacy protection, is returning as a sponsor of NOMAD Abu Dhabi for the second consecutive year. The event’s second edition, taking place from November 18 to 22 at Terminal 1 of the Old Abu Dhabi Airport, comes as ult. continues to broaden its specialist insurance capabilities, while strengthening its engagement and partnerships across the art, collectible design, and luxury ecosystems.
Following its inaugural edition in 2025, NOMAD Abu Dhabi comes back with an expanded program of international and regional galleries, institutional collaborations, and site-specific commissions, bringing contemporary art, collectible design, and craftsmanship into dialogue within one of the city’s most distinctive architectural landmarks. Its return builds on Abu Dhabi’s established cultural legacy and growing momentum in the art and design spaces, particularly as it coincides with the inaugural edition of Frieze Abu Dhabi (November 19-22).
Recent years have seen the region’s creative landscape attract institutional backing, gain international ground, and engage a cross-border collecting community that is blurring the lines between fine art, design, and luxury.
ult. has built on this momentum as it continues to evolve its portfolio in and around insurance for fine art, collectible design, and other high-value assets. The past year also marked ult.’s deeper engagement with the voices and platforms shaping the Middle East and Africa’s cultural and creative landscape – from its sponsorship of We Design Beirut and its activities around Art Basel Qatar in Doha to conversations with artists, designers, collectors, curators, and gallerists.
Commenting on ult.’s return to NOMAD Abu Dhabi, Josette Aramouni, Director at ult., said: “Our conversations across the region have revealed an increasingly fluid relationship between art, design, and luxury. We are seeing this evolution on both sides of the market, from the creators and galleries pushing the boundaries of their disciplines to collectors expanding their interests and redefining what constitutes a collection. This brings new questions around value, provenance, preservation, and protection. Our own expertise is evolving through these conversations, and our return to NOMAD reflects our commitment to remain immersed in the community shaping the market.”
