Riyadh draws global artworks
Riyadh is turning its attention to transforming the city into an open-air art gallery through the "Riyadh Art" program, launched in 2019 with the goal of integrating art into the daily life of the capital. Currently, the program features 75 traveling and permanent artworks displayed in various locations such as stations, squares, and bridges, reflecting diversity in artistic schools, styles, and materials. Among the notable works are the installation "When the Moon Was Complete" by Zaman Jassim at Al-Qasr Palace Station, symbolizing memory and renewal; the sculpture "Jaini Waini" by Alexander Caldar at King Abdullah Financial District; the piece "The Family Tree" by Subodh Gupta, created with household utensils; "LOVE" by Robert Indiana; "Red Diamond" by Jeff Conway; and "Running Beyond" by Angelo Bonillo on a pedestrian bridge. These efforts support Riyadh’s vision of becoming a global hub for art and culture, fostering direct interaction between art, place, and community.
