See the photo gallery from the first RUA festival on an island!

The summer of 2025 marked a first for the RUA festival: its eighth edition was held on Saaremaa, Estonia's largest island. Artists from near and far travelled to the island to share their art with the locals. The sparkle in the eyes of the artists and the locals of the island was proof of the festival's success. Captured moments by Ott Rõngas will serve as a reminder of this memorable and colorful week!

Admire the artworks created on the Saaremaa island and the process of their creation in the photo gallery.
