From where does the concept of Art for All stem?
We came up with the idea of Art For All, and we organized this festival to hold a collective demonstration of innovative and vibrant Saudi art that reflects a variety of artistic paths demonstrating high ideals of beauty.
Art is inestimable, its price is only a symbolic representation of its value, and it should not be out of the reach of any art lover.
We would like to create a new vision of art and its role in the lives of people with various intellectual, social and material capabilities.
Our objective is to test the public and its incentives and evaluate the possibility of enlarging the audience base with newcomers from various social groups:
- those who appreciate art but cannot afford to buy it for financial reasons;
- the youth whose artistic taste has yet to be educated and who require from us support and guidance to learn to appreciate Saudi art and interact with it.
What is most important is that our concept becomes a means to stimulate dialogue between the event and its viewers, and remains open to criticism and further development.
