Riyadh exhibition showcases Gulf’s cultural journey

RIYADH: The Misk Art Institute, part of the Misk Foundation, will launch the “Art Across the Arabian Gulf” exhibition on Wednesday at the Prince Faisal bin Fahd Arts Hall in Riyadh.

Featuring more than 70 artists and 150 artworks, the exhibition traces the region’s cultural journey through a pivotal historical phase, the Saudi Press Agency reported.

Running until March 31, 2026, the event explores Gulf art development through five themes: cultural heritage and development, seafaring heritage, resilience, abstraction and textual expression, and materiality and experimentation.

Visitors will encounter diverse visual languages highlighting periods of transformation, and revealing how these experiences shaped artistic identities and fostered cultural dialogue, the SPA reported.

The exhibition presents a rare collection mapping the region’s artistic evolution over five decades — from the pre-oil era to urbanization and cultural change.

It reflects the Arabian Gulf’s cultural memory amid rapid modernization, and explores shared symbols such as maritime trade, pearl diving and migration.

The event reaffirms the Misk Art Institute’s commitment to “accessible, inclusive art while highlighting Saudi artists’ contributions to the global creative landscape.”
