Workshops will occur across four Festival weeks in February, at Al Jazirah Al Hamra Heritage Village. Instructors are to present an age-appropriate art workshop in a covered outdoor setting. Art workshops are to be targeted toward children from cycle 1, cycle 2 & cycle 3, and the experience of working with children is essential.

RAKFAF Curatorial Development Program

The Ras Al Khaimah Fine Arts Festival invites young and prospective curators in the United Arab Emirates to submit their interest to the RAKFAF Curatorial Development Program. Designed to support the growth and upskilling of young talent, the curatorial development program will provide training and mentorship from world-renowned curators, a space at the 10th annual Ras Al Khaimah Fine Arts Festival for a final exhibition, and a small grant to support said exhibition. The selected participant will work with established curators to select a body of work that reflects the Festival's theme Nature through weekly 1-1 sessions and individual self-paced work. Please note that this program is for curation and not for the creation of new artwork by the participant.

Submissions for the 2023 Festival open July 2022.
