Saudi Arabia’s Ministry of Culture launched an event to draw Arabic calligraphy murals in ten regions in the Kingdom.
This event is being held in collaboration with the Ministry of Municipal and Rural Affairs and Housing, and is part of the Ministry’s “Year of Arabic Calligraphy” initiative, which was launched as part of the Ministry’s Quality of Life Program, which is one of the programs aimed at achieving Saudi Vision 2030.
The event begins in the city of Arar in the Northern Borders Province for three days, and then will move to the city of Sakaka in Al-Jouf, followed by Tabuk, and then Qassim. The first phase concludes in the city of Abha in Asir.
The event will complete its second phase in September in Al-Baha, Hail, Madinah (AlUla), Al-Ahsa, and then Jazan.
A mural will be drawn in each area by a local calligrapher and a graffiti artist in an open space, where visitors from different parts of the community can participate and contribute their drawings and lines until the mural is completed.
The event is in partnership with the Ministry of Municipal and Rural Affairs and Housing.
