Visual arts in Saudi Arabia

The earliest forms of visual arts in Saudi Arabia emerged 60 years ago when the first-ever exhibition for school-based activities in the history of public education was held in 1953, where renowned artist Abdulhalim Radwi showcased some of his early artworks. This was followed by King Saud bin Abdulaziz’s inauguration of Saudi Arabia's first-ever art exhibition in 1958, organized by the Ministry of Knowledge (currently the Ministry of Education).
