Curated by Alfio Tommasini, the Ras Al Khaimah Art 2024 Festival, presented by Aldar, promises to be an immersive cultural experience. The curated display includes works from over 100 artists, along with masterclasses, public talks, and live performances.
The national commissioning scheme called Brilliant is open to anyone in the UK, regardless of artistic background.
The deadline for submissions is Sunday, March 23, 2025.
