The Diriyah Biennale Foundation’s Public Programs are geared towards the growth and engagement of a curious and diverse community both in Saudi Arabia and around the world. Serving as a conduit between the Foundation’s two historic Biennales and its community at large, its Public Programs nurture discovery, engagement, exploration, and learning to cultivate artistic disciplines and responsive cultural innovation in our burgeoning cultural ecosystem.
Discover the makings of the art world with our insider program of fun talks, panels, studio visits, screenings, workshops, and masterclasses.
Explore with your fellow artists, curators, scholars, and researchers as part of our art research program of keynotes, roundtables, symposia.
Learn about art through the discovery of materials, processes, and history with our specially designed workshops and classes for families, young adults, and little ones.
