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.
