An Islamic art exhibition showcasing the works of 15 prominent Emirati artists has opened in the Al Hamra village in Ras Al Khaimah (RAK).

The Islamic Art Exhibition, which opened yesterday (September 15) at the Al Hamra Mall, will run until September 20.

“The exhibition will contribute in promoting cultural and intellectual activities in Ras Al Khaimah and enable more people to appreciate various forms of Islamic art such as sculpture, calligraphy, architecture and painting,” said Sheikh Salem bin Sultan Al Qasimi, chairman of RAK Civil Aviation and vice chairman of RAK Airways, who inaugurated the event.

“We hope that such events will get more support to ensure that Ras Al Khaimah’s rich cultural legacy is preserved,” he added.

The Islamic Art Exhibition is part of an array of exciting activities being organised by Interlocation Middle East Exhibition Organisers on behalf of Al Hamra Mall during Ramadan.

The attractions at the mall include exciting promotions, special discounts and a range of Ramadan-themed activities targeted at families, in addition to society-oriented activities that aim to encourage people to make a contribution to the UAE Red Crescent. – TradeArabia News Service
