Bahrain’s creative landscape will transform with the announcement of a strategic partnership between the RAK Art Foundation’s cultural space, The Art Station, and the Creative Industry Summit. This collaboration promises to strengthen the nation’s creative and cultural sectors. It offers local artists new opportunities to connect, grow, and showcase their talent.
Enriching Bahrain’s Cultural Landscape
“This partnership signifies a crucial step in adding value to the local artists in Bahrain,” says Shaikh Rashid Al Khalifa. “By collaborating with the Creative Industry Summit, we aim to enrich Bahrain’s cultural landscape, empower local artists, and contribute to the growth of the creative and cultural industries.”
The partnership highlights Bahrain’s commitment to nurturing its creative economy. As one of the first GCC countries to establish a National Arts Council, Bahrain has built a vibrant art scene full of art galleries, dynamic festivals, and creative hubs. Mai Salama, a key figure in the Creative Industry Summit, highlights this legacy: “Bahrain showcases its commitment through thriving art galleries, dynamic festivals, and investments in creative hubs.”
Empowering Local Talents and Amplifying Voices

In addition, they will amplify their contributions to the MENA region’s creative sphere and beyond. “We aren’t only working to benefit local artists and creators but also to highlight their contributions to MENA’s creative sphere and beyond,” adds Shaikh Rashid Al Khalifa.
Expanding Regional Growth and Innovation
For the Creative Industry Summit, this partnership represents a new chapter in its regional growth. Having achieved significant success in Saudi Arabia, the Summit is now poised to bring its innovative approach to Bahrain. “The next decade holds much potential, and we can’t wait to celebrate it with you,” says Salama.
A Shared Vision for Creativity and Collaboration
The RAK Art Foundation is known for its role in bridging artists, cultural enthusiasts, and communities. It shares a vision of fostering creativity and collaboration. Salama emphasizes, “We’re thrilled about the endless possibilities of this partnership with the RAK Art Foundation. Their dedication to enriching national creativity is beyond inspiring, and we look forward to launching impactful projects together soon.”
Celebrating Art and Innovation in Bahrain
