Tuwaiq Sculpture

Tuwaiq Sculpture

Tuwaiq Sculpture is a yearly global symposium and open-air exhibition that gathers acclaimed sculptors from around the world to produce monumental artworks live on site. Hosted in a specially designed outdoor workspace, the event celebrates sculpture as a medium for cultural exchange, encouraging collaboration, experimentation, and innovation in materials and form.

Working with locally sourced Saudi stone, artists carve large blocks into lasting public installations that become part of Riyadh’s evolving cityscape. Visitors are invited to observe the entire creative journey firsthand, from raw material to finished masterpiece, fostering a deeper connection to artistic craftsmanship and contemporary monumental art in the Kingdom.
