The Al-Aqrab International Fine Arts Exhibition 2025 opened yesterday at Al-Enab Rural Farm in the Afra center of Ballasmar governorate, part of the "Ballasmar Summer" program, amid rainy weather that added a special character to the event and drew a notable turnout of visitors from inside and outside the Kingdom.

The exhibition runs until August 17, welcoming visitors daily from 4 p.m. to 10 p.m., through a range of corners including handicrafts inspired by Saudi heritage, Arabic calligraphy art, a photography studio with heritage touches, and a children’s art studio to develop their creative skills.

The exhibition aims to strengthen the governorate’s cultural and artistic momentum and affirm its position as a prominent tourism and cultural destination on the Kingdom’s arts map, by attracting elite local and international visual artists and opening avenues for direct engagement with the public.
