The Society of Culture and Arts in Dammam has brought the curtain down on its "First Tales" exhibition, which offered a distinctive visual experience blending the spontaneity of childhood with the depth of artistic expression, amid notable attendance and engagement from children and school students.

The six-day exhibition featured 22 works varied in their materials and styles. The paintings became a space of silent visual communication through which children expressed their own readings of the works, giving the exhibition a distinctive interactive and human character.

The exhibition welcomed visits from 21 boys' and girls' schools with a total of 376 students, a step that reflects its role in nurturing artistic sensibility among young people and developing their visual taste.

Yousef Al Harbi, Director of the Society of Culture and Arts in Dammam, said the exhibition extends the society's role in supporting young artistic talent and refining their abilities across creative fields, helping to build a generation aware of the arts and interested in aesthetic expression.
