Ruthin International Arts Festival

Directed by distinguished Beijing-based poet Yu Er, and curated by Cheng Xi,  the inaugural Ruthin International Arts Festival will creatively  enliven the historic North Wales town of Ruthin as a dynamic living arts  scene - running 28 June - 28 July - via an exciting programme of site-responsive artistic experiences expressed across many disciplines and mediums.

Running from  28 June - 28 July 2024, the inaugural Ruthin International Arts Festival  is set to take place in the historic rural town of Ruthin in North  Wales - a stunning, expertly curated new addition to the existing  international art landscape, including work from acclaimed artists and  poets, centred around the theme of ‘Elsewhere’. Directed by  distinguished Beijing-based poet Yu Er, curated by Cheng Xi, and  supported by Ruthin Global Arts and Education Foundation, this brand-new  arts festival comprises a Seven Day Live Programme (28 June - 4 July)  of breathtaking multidisciplinary art, film, poetry, exhibition, and  performance-based work. This will be followed by weekly film screenings  and panels, open mic performance nights, and workshops, all running  locally until 28 July. Hosted in and around historic Ruthin  locations such as Ruthin Castle, the Ruthin International Arts Festival  explores and conceptualises seven themes across seven days: Liveness,  Intervention, Serendipity, Togetherness, Diaspora, Vision, and Good  Night, followed afterwards by a 4 week series of weekly screenings, film  panels, and local workshops.
