“We are witnessing an accelerated artistic movement, and there is a remarkable interest and an increasingly palpable social awareness that countries are moving forward with their artists, creators and intellectuals, and we are experiencing this in Saudi Arabia now more than ever, and obviously all this has had a positive impact on the visual arts in our country…Now culture and art have the support of King Salman bin Abdulaziz and Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman and this gives us all the support we need to move forward.”

–Laila Al-Jindan, Saudi artist, in a piece highlighting how art and culture are “experiencing their best moment in Saudi Arabia.” [atalayar.com]
