Riga Art Week (RAW), an exciting new art festival, will take place from 26 May – 1 June 2025 in Riga, Latvia. This dynamic city-wide event aims to foster collaboration among art institutions, galleries, and creatives, highlighting Riga’s role as a new cultural hub. With a diverse programme catering to art professionals and the broader public, RAW offers a vibrant platform for contemporary art, cultural development, and public engagement, reinforcing Riga's image as a creative and evolving city.

Throughout the festival, the focus will be on integrating contemporary art into the urban fabric of Riga, with events spread across both established cultural venues and emerging creative neighbourhoods, such as Grizindarzs, Veldze and more.
