700 works entered for Dammam's small-format art exhibition
DAMMAM: Artists from across the country have submitted more than 700 works for the Saudi Arabian Society for Culture and Arts in Dammam's annual showcase.
Now in its sixth year, the 'Endless Possibilities for Art' exhibition focuses exclusively on works measuring 30 cm by 30 cm and seeks to deepen connections between artists and viewers by creating interactive display environments.
A total of 705 pieces from 235 artists in 25 cities were entered for this year's show and the submission process is now closed, the Saudi Press Agency reported.
Youssef Al-Harbi, the society's director, said: 'This initiative seeks to bridge the gap between artists and the public by making original artworks more attainable and fostering a deeper connection between creators and collectors through deeper sensory and visual readings of artistic works.
'It also showcases the richness of techniques and diversity of artistic schools, reflecting the cultural and visual diversity of the Kingdom's regions and their aesthetic uniqueness.'
The show built on the society's ongoing efforts to champion visual arts and encouraged artists and collectors to find common ground through ownership, he said.
The society will announce which works have been chosen for the exhibition on July 17.
