Red Bull Art of Can Kuwait

The Red Bull Art of Can is a nationwide hunt for creativity and is open to everyone, from full-time artists to anyone with a creative flair. Build, sculpt, weld, glue, hammer, bend, fold, print, tape and paint, whatever you like.


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 are 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.

Your primary material/inspiration must be a silver and blue Red Bull can (Regular or Sugar free), but you will need to add plenty of imagination and creativity. Make a sculpture, a picture, a 3D model, a mobile, or a piece of modern art, but make it beautiful, colourful, clever, amusing or outrageous.

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 which will be announced on the opening night of the exhibition.

The art of creating masterpieces out of Red Bull cans started back in 1999. Exhibitions have been held all around the globe from Europe to New Zealand. Countries like Austria, Germany, the Netherlands, Switzerland, the United Kingdom, South Africa, Singapore, UAE and the USA have all inspired artists to create their own aluminum artworks.


Judging Criteria:

•Creative Concept (the idea behind the piece)

•Conceptual Execution (how well did the piece translate the concept idea)

•Construction (how well is the piece constructed/special technique or unusual process)


Potential applicants can register their entries starting June 2011 until end of August, the deadline to receive all applications forms.

Applications can be done online by registering at http://www.redbullartofcan-kw.com/  or through calling the hotline: +965 66406020.

The closing date for receipt of the finalized works of art is October 15th, 2011. The organizers will afterwards shortlist the entrants qualified to participate in “The Art of Can” exhibition which will be held in Kuwait at the 360 MALL the upcoming December.

Very impressive stuff...



Their newest theatrical production will be Merchant of Venice in Arabic. But from the look of Omar Khayyam it's so colourful and dramatic that it shouldn't matter too much. Or brush up on the English version before you go along to watch this one.


For more details call 96653377, 25723599 Ext. 132. Or better still pass by Bayt Lothan, next to Marina Mall on Gulf Road and have a look around; it's a wonderful, positive environment for kids, teenagers and young adults.
