The Royal Commission for Riyadh City, through its Riyadh Art program, has launched the Tuwaiq Sculpture 2026 exhibition along Prince Mohammed bin Abdulaziz Street (Tahlia), according to the Saudi Press Agency.
Running from February 9 to 22, the exhibition spotlights 25 new artworks under the theme “Traces of What Will Be,” addressing themes of transformation and urban renewal.
These sculptures were brought to life during a dynamic live phase held from January 10 to February 5, where artists from 18 countries used local stone and recycled metals to turn raw materials into various forms.
Tahlia Street was selected to stage the exhibition due to the site’s legacy of innovation and to allow artists to frame their works within a conceptual narrative of renewal.
Overseen by a panel of international experts, the exhibition has become an interactive cultural platform that featured workshops and discussions designed to foster community participation.
Riyadh Art will add all 2026 pieces to its permanent collection, expanding a program that has welcomed more than 170 artists since 2019 and already installed over 60 sculptures across the city to blend contemporary art with Riyadh’s urban fabric.
