Diriyah Art Futures, also known as Dar’iyah Art Futures, a pioneering initiative in Saudi Arabia dedicated to supporting digital and media arts, marked the graduation of its inaugural cohort of emerging artists with the launch of “Continuum”, an exhibition showcasing the future of contemporary creativity.
Held in the historic setting of Diriyah, the exhibition combined cutting-edge digital technologies with immersive visual experiences, presenting innovative works that reflect the participating artists’ ambitions and their vision for the future of art.
A Platform for Emerging Talents
The program provides a unique platform for young talents from Saudi Arabia and abroad, offering training, mentorship, and an inspiring environment that fosters exchange and creativity.
The “Continuum” exhibition serves as the culmination of these efforts, featuring final projects that blend local cultural elements with digital innovation.
Digital Arts and Vision 2030
This milestone reflects Saudi Arabia’s drive to establish itself as a global hub for artistic and cultural creativity, particularly in the rapidly evolving field of digital arts.
It highlights the Kingdom’s commitment to empowering youth with the tools and opportunities to compete internationally, in alignment with Vision 2030, which identifies culture and the arts as key pillars of sustainable development.
The showcased works went beyond static displays, engaging audiences with interactive and immersive elements that redefined the relationship between the artwork and its viewers.
