Reasons Riyadh draws international art
Riyadh enhances the presence of public art in the city through the "Riyadh Art" program, launched in 2019 with the goal of transforming the capital into an open-air art gallery. The program features 75 artworks distributed across various locations such as stations, squares, and bridges. These works encompass light art, sculpture, and sound, highlighting the experiences of Saudi and international artists from different generations and backgrounds. Among the most notable pieces are the installation "When the Moon Fully" by Zaman Jassim at the King Abdulaziz Historical Station, symbolizing memory and renewal; the sculpture "Jaini Waini" by Alexander Calder, which mimics movement; "Family Tree" by Subodh Gupta, exploring identity; "LOVE" by Robert Indiana, reflecting popular culture; and "Ashes Beyond" by Angelo Bonello on a pedestrian bridge, integrating art into urban movement. This artistic diversity aims to make art a part of everyday life, conveying cultural and aesthetic messages to the public within their daily environment, all in support of Saudi Arabia's Vision 2030 to strengthen the cultural scene and improve the quality of life in Riyadh.
