Riyadh is gearing up to host a spectacular artistic event with the launch of the first-ever Riyadh Art Week from April 6 to 13, 2025. Set against the historic JAX District in Diriyah, this week-long celebration will turn the vibrant cultural hub into an open-air gallery, showcasing remarkable local and international artworks. Organized by the Saudi Visual Arts Commission, this initiative is more than just an exhibition—it's a dynamic platform for artistic expression, cultural dialogue, and creative exploration.
The event debuts under the theme "At The Edge," exploring the boundaries between traditional and contemporary art. This innovative approach allows artists to express transformations and transitions in the art world, offering visitors a thought-provoking and immersive experience. The festival fosters a space for creativity, dialogue, and discovery, making it a key gathering for art enthusiasts from around the globe.
Featuring carefully curated exhibitions, Riyadh Art Week presents an array of artworks by renowned Saudi and international artists. From modern contemporary pieces to works deeply rooted in cultural heritage, the event offers an enriching and diverse artistic journey, supported by top-tier local and global galleries.
Art lovers will have an exclusive opportunity to explore private art collections that are rarely open to the public. These showcases provide insight into the evolution of Saudi and international art, featuring rare and never-before-seen pieces. For collectors and enthusiasts, this segment of the event is a must-visit, offering a rare glimpse into artistic treasures.
Riyadh Art Week goes beyond static displays, offering interactive workshops that invite attendees to explore artistic techniques, whether in painting, sculpture, or digital media. In addition, the event will host insightful discussions featuring renowned artists and critics, delving into the evolution of art and its cultural significance.
Visitors can experience captivating live performances that fuse traditional artistic expressions with modern digital techniques.

Unlike commercial art fairs, Riyadh Art Week serves as a non-commercial platform designed to empower local artists, encourage cultural exchange, and support emerging talent.
