ABOUT THE ROLA’S
The Ray of Light Awards isn’t just another award ceremony—it’s a beacon of hope, a celebration of the transformative power of art and a testament to the enduring spirit of our dear friend, Ray Stevenson. In his memory, we honor not just his multifaceted artistic prowess, but his unwavering belief in the ability of art to unite, inspire, amuse, provoke change and connect to higher realms.
Ibiza, known for her abundant and boundary-free expressivity, attracts unconventional talents who find sanctuary amidst her azure waters and sun-kissed landscapes. Their voices effortlessly amplified by the island’s magnetic energy. Here ears are ready to listen and hearts open to receive.
The Ray of Light awards are not merely accolades; they are a call to action, a rallying cry for artists and creators to harness their talent in service of a better world, a wider consciousness, a higher frequency. They celebrate not just the beauty of creation, but its power to ignite change, uplift individuals and communities, transcend barriers, elevate human spirits and expand perception beyond this earthly dimension.
This year; ROLA simply plants the first SEED in Ibiza soil, to anchor its spark, to create an intimate yet powerful gathering of all those who knew, understood, experienced and fueled the artistic purity and creative integrity that Ray embodied on our planet. This powerful SEED promises to grow in the years to come and resonate across the 4 corners of the world, and beyond. Not only because it was planted with pure unconditional love for Ray and what he represented on Earth, but because it is nourished by the unique pulsing energy of Ibiza and the creative powers of the Cosmos that so intensively funnel through her.
Join us in honoring Ray’s legacy, in celebrating the artists who illuminate our world, and in embracing the transformative potential of Ibiza to shape a brighter, more connected and more truthful future for us all.
