The Royal Commission for Riyadh City, through its Riyadh Art program, has unveiled the Tuwaiq Sculpture 2026 exhibition along Prince Mohammed bin Abdulaziz Street (Tahlia), according to the Saudi Press Agency.
Running from February 9 to 22, the exhibition features 25 new artworks under the theme “Traces of What Will Be,” delving into transformation and urban renewal.
These sculptures were brought to life during a vibrant live phase held from January 10 to February 5, where artists from 18 countries used local stone and recycled metals to transform raw materials into striking forms.
Riyadh Art has selected Tahlia Street to stage the exhibition due to the site’s legacy of innovation, while allowing artists to frame their works within a conceptual narrative of renewal.
A panel of international experts oversees the exhibition, transforming it into an interactive cultural platform that offered workshops and discussions designed to boost community participation.
Riyadh Art will add all 2026 pieces to its permanent collection, further broadening a program that has welcomed over 170 artists since 2019 and already installed more than 60 sculptures across the city to blend contemporary art with Riyadh’s urban fabric.
