RAK Art Festival 2024: A Unique Experience in Ras Al Khaimah

If you are looking for a fun and unique experience in Ras Al Khaimah (RAK)? For a limited time, you can explore the RAK Art Festival 2024 for free!

 

The art festival seamlessly blending history and creativity. Remember my DUBAI GHOST TOWN post? Yep, I’m totally into these quirky places! Well, this is a ghost town and an art exhibition all rolled into one, and the best part is, it’s completely free of charge.

 

Discover Art Among the Ruins!

The RAK ART Festival 2024 exhibition is based at Al Jazeera Al Hamra Heritage Village, where every nook and cranny has been transformed into a canvas. From 2nd to 29th February 2024, this is the coolest and most unique experience you can have in RAK.

 

RAK Art Festival Theme ‘In Motion’

 

The gallery is making its 12th appearance, just like that reliable friend who hosts a different themed party each year! This time, the theme is ‘In Motion.’ I found this theme really interesting and cool; there’s more than just the occasional canvas – the buildings and courtyards are draped with colourful fabric. It’s quite an immersive experience.

 

 

‘In Motion’ challenges the idea of a new ‘normal’ and implies that we should embrace the constant changes in our diverse world. The festival celebrates things like generative AI, NFTs, space journeys, and environmental movements. It brings together different types of art and gets people talking about the power of motion and change.

 

Copper Dreams

 

As I popped my head into the abandoned houses, it was like an exciting discovery; each house hosted a different exhibit. The once-deserted homes, crafted from coral stone and sand, now house a vibrant collection of contemporary art. My personal favourite? The hanging copper pieces that swayed gently, catching the light in a mesmerizing dance.

 

Chilled Beats

 

As you wander through the village, the air hums with chilled contemporary music, creating a laid-back ambiance that perfectly complements the artistic journey. The atmosphere is so relaxed that you might find yourself lost in the rhythm, floating along, watching the drapes of fabric flowing amongst the buildings – it was such a relaxing experience.

 

Snap, Share, Repeat.

 

And let’s not forget the photo ops! Every twist and turn in Al Jazirah Al Hamra is a potential Instagram masterpiece. The hanging copper pieces, bathed in natural light, the draped fabric floating in the air, and the contrast of the ruins were Instagram gold!

 

RAK ART Festival is a must visit!
