First outdoor art show in conservative Saudi Arabia

Posted on at


RIYADH: In highly conservative Saudi Arabia where most forms of entertainment are forbidden, art has taken to the streets.

Dozens of paintings are being displayed on outdoor advertising billboards in the capital Riyadh and other cities in what organisers say is the kingdom's first public art show.

“It is something new,” said Mohammed al-Khereiji, deputy chief executive of Al-Arabia Outdoor, the advertising firm behind the exhibition.
