The Royal Institute of Traditional Arts (Wrth) has urged all Al-Qatt Al-Asiri enthusiasts to register in a specialized training program in July, according to the Saudi Press Agency.
In collaboration with Soudah Development Company, the program will run from July 27 to 31 in Asir Region as part of joint efforts to promote cultural heritage in the Al-Soudah Tourism Project.
The program represents an integral part of Wrth’s initiatives to ensure the survival of Al-Qatt Al-Asiri art and offer rare glimpses into its history and aesthetic components.
To this end, the program will provide participants with practical training in creating natural colors and mastering traditional artistic techniques.
Al-Qatt Al-Asiri
Known as Al-Qatt, Al-Katba, or Al-Zayan, women in Asir were painting this old art on the walls offering stunning appearance in front of Saudi homes.
In 2017, it received international recognition after being registered on the UNESCO list of Intangible Cultural Heritage.
