At the heart of Riyadh, vibrant artistic scenes are unfolding as the fifth edition of the Tuwaiq Sculpture Symposium gets underway, running from January 14 to February 24, 2024. The event brings together local and international artists, presenting a diverse artistic tableau of 30 stunning sculptures carved from Saudi granite.

Under the theme "Moving Dimensions," 30 artists from 20 countries are competing to create innovative, beautiful works that reflect their artistic and cultural vision. The symposium aims to turn the Saudi capital into an open-air art gallery, featuring pieces that blend authenticity and modernity, enriching cultural life for Riyadh's residents and visitors alike.

The symposium serves as a platform for exchanging expertise and ideas among artists from different cultures, standing out as one of the Kingdom's leading art events and contributing to a richer cultural scene and greater appreciation for the visual arts.

The symposium is hosting a number of prominent and talented artists, both Saudi and international, who are presenting their creative works. Renowned curator Marek Wolinski is serving as artistic director for this edition, working alongside a committee of art and sculpture experts to produce public sculptures using stone from across the Kingdom, forming part of the capital's artistic and cultural landscape.

The symposium is an important annual event that highlights the role of sculpture in Riyadh's cultural and artistic scene, contributing significantly to the city's development and enrichment. All of the sculptures and artworks created during the symposium will become a permanent part of the capital's cultural landscape, enhancing its beauty and improving quality of life for residents and visitors.

At the Tuwaiq Sculpture Symposium 2024, visitors can expect an exciting journey that goes beyond traditional sculpture, offering a rich experience that blends art and culture in an atmosphere brimming with inspiration and beauty.
