DUBAI: Art is cross-cultural and cross-border in form, function and meaning. Small wonder that since the coronavirus pandemic struck, fairs, exhibition spaces, concert halls, museums and performing arts centers across the world have been forced to close their doors and cancel events, threatening the livelihoods of artists and depriving societies of joys they once took for granted.
The art world in recent decades revolved around an international circuit of exhibitions, art fairs, biennials and performances. Artists, curators, collectors, gallerists and art lovers crisscrossed the globe to congregate at events as far apart as Dakar and Mexico City. That is, until world travel slowed and then ground to a halt in March 2020.
RIYADH: The Saudi Misk Art Institute has launched the first Misk Art Grant, an annual program that will provide technical and financial support to artists inside and outside the Kingdom. Works by the first five recipients are now on show at an exhibition that runs until the end of February.
The program also aims to empower young people to realize their artistic potential by giving them the chance to work with mentors and supervisors who will help participants to develop their creativity.
In this unusual year, the program adopted the theme of “Settling,” a reference to the sense of stability that can be provided by familiar places until it is time to move on.
