Founded in 2013 by the Sheikh Saud bin Saqr Al Qasimi Foundation for Policy Research, the Ras Al Khaimah Art Festival has grown from a modest gathering of 30 emerging local artists into the Emirate's leading art and cultural festival.
Formerly known as the Ras Al Khaimah Fine Arts Festival, it has since evolved into the Ras Al Khaimah Art—a dynamic creative platform that supports both local and international talents through its annual Festival, grants, masterclasses, workshops, and year-round programming. Set within the historic Al Jazeera Al Hamra Heritage Village, the Festival serves as a distinctive space where global artistic practice meets Emirati cultural heritage.
