Arabic calligraphy murals to fill Jeddah's streets as part of city's public art campaign

Arabic calligraphy will soon fill the city of Jeddah through murals and street paintings. Following the United Nations Arabic Language Day last week, the Jeddah municipality announced its initiative to install 50 Arabic calligraphy murals across the city as a way to enhance its public spaces. The artwork will cover main roads, sidewalks, flyovers, buildings and squares in the Saudi Arabian city. Some of the works will be more than 70 metres long and 3 metres high. Jeddah’s mayor Saleh Al-Turki stated that the move also goes hand-in-hand with the Saudi Ministry of Culture’s establishment of 2020 as the Year of Arabic Calligraphy and is in line with the Kingdom’s Vision 2030.
