Tuwaiq Sculpture is an annual sculpture symposium that brings local and international artists together to create public artworks in a live setting. Through an interactive program of workshops, school visits, and talks, Tuwaiq Sculpture engages diverse communities and bolsters cultural exchanges. The symposium culminates in an on-site exhibition, with the sculptures enriching the Riyadh Art collection and later becoming a permanent feature of the Saudi capital’s urban fabric.

Tuwaiq Sculpture is a platform where local and international artists meet, collaborate, and create large-scale public artworks in a live setting. The open format of the symposium allows the public to observe the creative process, participate in interactive workshops, and discuss the history and future of public art, effectively contributing to the enrichment of the cultural scene in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.

Riyadh, Saudi Arabia’s capital city, has launched Riyadh Art, a public art initiative of unprecedented scale. Comprised of more than 1,000 public art installations across ten programs, plus one annual light and art festival and a sculpture symposium, Riyadh Art is bringing art to residential neighborhoods, gardens and parks, public squares and areas, creating one of the world’s most livable, environmentally friendly and sustainable cities. With a young and rapidly growing population of 7+ million residents, Riyadh is transforming into a creative canvas—a gallery without walls—to enrich lives, ignite creative expression and kindle the creative economy.
