Kuwait will be witnessing a very distinctive event during Ramadan this year as Red Bull Art of Can Exhibition will be on display on 15th June until 25th June. The exhibition, which is set to receive visitors starting 16th and VIPS on the 15th, will feature a variety of art pieces that depict the talent and craftsmanship of the participants, along with their skill in creating a piece of art where the Red Bull can is the only point of inspiration. The Red Bull Art of Can offers a platform for anyone, regardless of age, who wants to explore his or her creative talent. Artists, students, grandparents and all those in between were invited to submit their works of art. The Red Bull Art of Can is a true expression of one’s imagination, with little or no restrictions placed on the budding artist. The project will culminate in a premium art exhibition, where the selected pieces will be displayed and the top three pieces awarded prizes. The judges will select the winners who will be announced on the opening night of the exhibition with chances to win cash prizes, categorized in the physical category, the 1st place prize is 1,000 KD, the 2nd place prize 750 KD and 3rd place prize is 500 KD. As for the displayed digital category, the 1st place is 1,000 KD. The organizers will shortlist the entrants qualified to participate in “The Art of Can” exhibition based on creativity, theme and final presentation. This year, a new category will be featured; in addition to the physical art, the digital displayed art was introduced to the competition for the first time. The physical piece of art should include the actual Red Bull can as the primary material in the final work. However, the digital displayed art is a work of art that can be displayed on a screen and should include a digital version of the Red Bull can in the final piece. Submissions could take the form of an animation, a digital short film, stop motion, or GIF. The primary material/inspiration must be a Red Bull can, but plenty of imagination and creativity is necessary too. Be it a sculpture, a picture, a 3D model, a mobile, digital illustration or a piece of modern art, as long as it is beautiful, colorful, clever and amusing.
