The sixth Ras Al Khaimah Fine Arts Festival recently showcased the work of more than 70 artists and directors from around the world, mainly the GCC countries, and attracted a wide audience.

The 2018 festival saw 45% more submissions in comparison to the previous editions. Nine awards were given in the categories visual arts, photography, film, recycled art, and students’ work. Although the festival is a not-for-profit initiative of the Al Qasimi Foundation, more awards await the participants in the coming editions.
