His Highness Sheikh Saud bin Saqr Al Qasimi, UAE Supreme Council Member and Ruler of Ras Al Khaimah has formally opened the 8th edition of the Ras Al Khaimah Fine Arts Festival.
This year’s festival will showcase the talents of more than 100 local and international artists under the theme of Connected Communities. The highly anticipated grand opening will be attended earlier in the evening by Sheikh Saud, ambassadors, dignitaries, festival partners, and local and international artists.
His Highness Sheikh Saud said, “This year, the festival celebrates values we hold dear in the UAE. It speaks to the true meaning of inclusion, tolerance, and cooperation, all of which have empowered us as people – as connected communities – to truly fulfil our potential and lead inspired, productive, happy lives.”
He added, “The theme of this year’s festival is a timely one, as we are living in an increasingly connected age in which the world is becoming more of a global village. I sincerely hope guests will embrace the festival as a platform for meaningful cultural exchange.”
The immersive outdoor art and sculpture exhibition is free to enter and will feature more than 150 original pieces.
