Public Art Installations Changing Saudi Arabia’s Alkhobar Cityscape
Public art in Alkhobar has turned everyday spaces into iconic landmarks, blending heritage with modern energy
The power of public spaces in a city extends far beyond their role as gathering points. They serve as signifiers of cultural development and reflect a city’s ability to engage its residents. When intertwined with public art, these spaces transcend their functional purpose, becoming instigators of collective memory and catalysts for shared identity. In Alkhobar, Saudi Arabia, this transformative potential is evident through the efforts of the Mujassam Wattan competition (MW Award).
Aligned with Saudi Vision 2030, the initiative champions public art projects that enhance urban spaces while celebrating Saudi heritage and aspirations. By inviting artists and designers to contribute meaningful works, it has helped redefine Alkhobar’s urban fabric, creating accessible and inclusive spaces that forge a new chapter in the city’s cultural narrative.
