In Jeddah, the second ATHR Collectors' Circle for 2023 has opened its doors to the public and is displaying limited-edition works by some of the most well-known artists in the area.
The show, which is spread out across a considerable space, features a colourful and stylish assortment that will interest both art collectors and admirers. To create a trail across the exhibition area, the pieces are strewn among the permanent collection.
Sara Abdu, Ahmed Mater, Sarah Abuabdallah, Ahaad Al-Amoudi, Mohammed Al-Faraj, Reem Al-Nasser, Dana Awartani, and Ayman Yosri Daydban are a few of the artists that have contributed.
The ACC strives to promote works that have been shown at major institutions and foster a culture of art patronage within the Saudi art scene.
The present show, organised by Ola bin Saqran and Solafa Rawas, is on view through July 31.
Rare mixed-media pieces created by well-known local and international artists in the contemporary art scene are on display in the show.
Sultan bin Fahad's "Delights I, 2023" was hand-knotted onto a silk and wool carpet. Al-Amoudi's multimedia installation "My Hopes and Your Dreams, 2021" features action figures. OCE print is used in "And Make Me Light, 2023" by Farah Behbehani together with silver wax and diamond dust.
The variety of artistic ability on display is also shown in other mediums, such as pencil drawings on wood, tomato seeds in resin, and collages.
The ACC hosts a number of exhibits, events, and seminars that provide art lovers the chance to network and connect with creators, industry experts, and international collectors who may aid in navigating the terrain of the art market and provide advice on art patronage. An associated programme that focuses on various facets of art patronage and collection will run alongside the show.
