Since its inception in Jeddah in 2009, ATHR Gallery has played a pivotal role in building the contemporary art scene in Saudi; valuing experimentation and the exploration of new ideas, disseminating the artists’ role in the creative process and the impact they can have on societies. As a relentless supporter of young, as well as established, artists from Saudi Arabia and the Arab region, ATHR provides opportunities for furthering knowledge and experience within its multidisciplinary space in Jeddah and beyond. The program includes international residencies, special commissions, international group exhibitions, symposia, and funding.
