RIYADH: Submissions for the Tuwaiq Sculpture 2026 began on Wednesday and will continue until Sept. 17, the Riyadh Art program has announced.

Themed “Traces of What Will Be,” the symposium invites sculptors from around the world to submit proposals for the seventh internationally acclaimed event.

The symposium, held in January next year, will once again turn Riyadh into a dynamic hub for public art, creativity and cross-cultural exchange.

The open call invites submissions from artists interested in participating in a live sculpting experience on-site in Riyadh, culminating in a public exhibition.

Twenty-five artists will be selected to produce original works that will be permanently installed across the capital, enriching the city’s expanding public art collection.
