Art Week Riyadh: A Cultural Celebration Adorning the Capital with Global Arts and Creativity

"Art Week Riyadh" marked a significant moment in the Kingdom's cultural evolution, establishing the capital as a dynamic hub for diverse artistic movements.

 Organized by the Visual Arts Commission, the event, featuring local and international artists across 13 venues, redefined the art-society dialogue and embodied Saudi Arabia's cultural evolution from heritage preserver to modernity innovator.

 Running until April 13, 2025, the event features art exhibitions, interactive workshops, dialogue sessions, and visual art performances for all ages, appealing to families and art enthusiasts alike. The initiative brings together over 50 galleries, 200 artists, and 100 diverse events to foster cultural exchange and showcase Saudi Arabia's vibrant art scene globally.

 The JAX District's main exhibition, "At the Edge," features works from 30 local, regional, and international galleries, highlighting the cultural dialogue between Saudi Arabia and the Middle East and North Africa region. Visitors can gain insight into Saudi artists' creative processes and participate in workshops on pottery, narrative drawing, and still life, led by Saudi and international artists.

 Until May 31, 2025, the event will showcase artworks from leading Saudi collections such as Ithra and the Saudi Research and Media Group (SRMG), in addition to the exhibition "Collections in Dialogue," which features works by international artists.

 Through the "A World of Silence" sculpture exhibition, the LArt Pur Foundation, chaired by Princess Adwaa bint Yazeed bin Abdullah Al Saud, celebrates the artistic dialogue between the Kingdom and Egypt through the works of eight artists.

 Art Week Riyadh exemplifies the Ministry of Culture's efforts to enhance the creative sector, aligning with Vision 2030's recognition of culture and the arts as vital to the national economy and a source of generational inspiration.
