Riyadh Is Hosting One Of Its Largest Art Exhibitions Yet And It’s A Grand Celebration Of Saudi Arts
The warehouses that double up as creative spaces in Riyadh’s JAX District are bustling with energy – the artistic kind. The art lovers’ debates, panel discussions, and modern artworks on exhibit make you want to take up a brush and start painting on a blank canvas — the atmosphere is that contagious.
Art lovers have gathered at the Diriyah Contemporary Art Biennale to witness what is in a way a celebration of Saudi contemporary art.
Saudi Arabia’s first art biennale #DiriyahBiennale unfolds today under the theme of #FeelingTheStones with 240 works by 64 local and international artists, organized by @Biennale_Sa with a team of curators led by @philiptinari.
