Last year’s theme, “We Dream of New Horizons,” inspired visitors to foster hope for the future and engage the world with positivity and optimism, especially to better understand the renewal and transformation that the Kingdom is witnessing. So we can only imagine what this year’s version has in store.
Noor Riyadh endeavours to enhance community interaction and to spread the manifestations of art and beauty in the city by promoting art in public spaces, fostering the local art movement, and encouraging more creativity and innovation.
The event is part of Riyadh Art, one of the four major projects under the mandate of the Royal Commission for Riyadh City that aim to turn the capital into “a gallery without walls”.
His Highness Prince Badr bin Farhan Al-Saud, chairman of the steering committee for Riyadh Art, said: “Noor Riyadh honours Riyadh’s rich cultural heritage and areas of natural beauty through a carefully curated program, whilst creating a dialogue between tradition and modernity and the city’s past and future.”
