This Art Fair In Jeddah Show Has Proven That There Is Just No Stopping The Saudi Art Scene

Art Books Jeddah opened its gates to visitors on Thursday at Jeddah’s Athr Gallery.

Misk Art Institute (MAI), founded by Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, collaborated with Crossway Foundation, Fully Booked and Bricklab to create Saudi Arabia’s first art book fair.

Anddd MAI is not just empowering the art scene in Saudi Arabia but also particularly women, as they make up 50 percent of the fair’s exhibitors.
