Founded in 2013 under the patronage of Sheikh Saud bin Saqr Al Qasimi Foundation for Policy Research, the Ras Al Khaimah Art Festival has evolved from a modest gathering of 30 emerging local artists into the Emirate's premier art and cultural showcase.
Formerly known as the Ras Al Khaimah Fine Arts Festival, the rebranded Ras Al Khaimah Art Festival transcends conventional boundaries, serving as a dynamic creative hub dedicated to nurturing local and international talent. Through grants, masterclasses, workshops, and year-round events, it continues to foster artistic growth and cultural dialogue.
