Tuwaiq Sculpture 2026 presented by Riyadh Art

The seventh edition of Tuwaiq Sculpture will take place in Riyadh from January 12 to February 22, 2026. The annual public art symposium will bring 25 international artists to Tahlia Street to create large-scale sculptures on-site using local granite and reclaimed metals, with all finished works entering the permanent Riyadh Art collection for installation across the city.

The event, curated under the theme 'Traces of What Will Be,' emphasizes the artistic process and public engagement as central to its mission. It transforms sculpture-making into a visible, communal act, breaking down barriers between art and the public while contributing to the evolving cultural landscape of the Saudi capital. The symposium highlights sustainability, material transformation, and the lasting impact of human intervention on urban environments.
