The RAK Art 2026 Festival, held in Ras Al Khaimah in the United Arab Emirates, is now open for submissions! This prestigious international art event invites artists from all disciplines and corners of the world to participate under the exciting theme:“Civilizations – A Journey Through Time and Culture.”

RAK Art 2026 seeks to highlight the richness and diversity of global cultural traditions while also exploring how different civilizations have influenced each other across time. From heritage crafts to digital installations, from ancient iconography to modern storytelling, we encourage artists to showcase how culture evolves and endures through creative expression.

Participants are invited to reflect on key questions:– What artistic elements survive the passage of time when civilizations intersect?– How do we express identity and memory through art today?– What innovations emerge when cultural boundaries dissolve?

Whether you’re working in painting, photography, digital art, performance, sculpture, or any other form, this is your chance to join an influential platform that celebrates both individual talent and shared heritage.

Submissions are open now, and artists may enter work for consideration in various competition categories. Winners in each category will receive a cash prize and a trophy, acknowledging their outstanding contributions.

Don't miss the opportunity to be part of an international cultural milestone. Submit your work, share your voice, and connect with a global network of artists in RAK Art 2026: A journey where history meets imagination.
