The sixth annual Tuwaiq International Sculpture Symposium started on Wednesday at “ROSHN Front” and will run until February 8.
Held under the theme “From Then to Now: Joy in the Struggle of Making,” the event features 30 artists from 23 countries who will create public art sculptures using granite and basalt stones from the Kingdom.
During the symposium, discussion sessions, workshops, and educational trips will be held, providing visitors with a unique opportunity to explore the world of sculpture and the creative works of the artists.
The Tuwaiq International Sculpture Symposium is one of the projects of the Riyadh Art Program, which is one of the largest public art programs in the world.
The program aims to transform Riyadh into a “gallery without walls,” enhancing creativity, enriching the lives of the city’s residents and visitors, and contributing to the realization of Saudi Vision 2030 by making Riyadh a global center for art and culture.
