Sea Art Fair

The Open Art Fair is a participatory initiative by the Red Sea Museum that invites the
public to become active contributors to the museum’s cultural program. Through an
open call, emerging artists of all ages will be invited to submit works made
from recycled or reused materials and inspired by the Red Sea. Selected works will be
exhibited at the museum, creating a platform for community expression, visibility and
dialogue. The initiative is designed to connect museum with public by encouraging
participation, sustainability and local storytelling. It positions the museum as a platform
where community-made work can be seen, shared and celebrated. Special section for
Little Artists, to encourage young creative talents.
