Edge of Arabia:We Need to Talk- Art Exhibition


Dear Readers,

The Edge of Arabia: We have to talk, is an exhibition by Saudi contemporary artists, at the Fursiya Marina (next to Park Hyatt Hotel, Corniche) in Jeddah. The exhibition is open to all, from 9am till 11pm every day except Friday. It contains photography, and abstract sculptures, even videos.  Some art pieces are guaranteed to bring a smile to your face, while others may provoke a discussion, and othersstill, may leave you scratching your head.

Photography is permitted so without further ado I will add photos of some of the exhibits, unfortunately I forgot to note down the names of the artists, all credit goes to the artists, I’m just trying to promote their talent.
Be sure to check out the exhibition yourself, and later you can chill out at cafe on the Marina.
