Saudi Ministry of Culture’s Historic Jeddah Program has launched the Culture Square, marking one of the most innovative cultural destinations in Jeddah, the Saudi Press Agency (SPA) reported.
The Culture Square represents a significant initiative aimed at further positioning Historic Jeddah area as a global cultural hub for all visitors around the world.
Situated on the banks of Lake Al-Arbaeen, the square combines the area’s great history with contemporary practices. Thus, it stands as a testament to the accelerating pace of the Saudi Vision 2030 and its ambitious goals to preserve national heritage and capture more tourists.
Spanning over 26,000 square meters, the project will feature two key facilities: the Center for Performing Arts and the Digital Arts Museum “TeamLab Without Borders.”
The Center for Performing Arts will offer a vast array of cultural activities, such as theatrical performances, international festivals, and film screenings.
In addition, the square will also house various cultural facilities, such as the headquarters of the Red Sea Film Festival, a large theater with 868 seats, five cinema halls, dialogue spaces, and multi-purpose areas for cultural exchange.
Meanwhile, the TeamLab Museum will showcase 80 interconnected works that merge art, technology, and nature.
