Initially inaugurated in Al-Baha under the auspices of Prince Faisal bin Mohammed bin Saud, the exhibition was relocated to Stars Avenue Mall for its Festival of Spring Gifts event.

This was partnership was facilitated by Rida Gallery, which first brought art to the public venue with its exhibition in September 2009. Now with Star Avenue’s second arts and culture initiative, the display space has expanded with two floors showcasing the work of 21 local talents and one Majed Sultan of Kuwait.

Capturing the beauty of the Kingdom in 80 photograph plates, the exhibition includes an array of themes that represent the diverse landscape and wildlife that is relatively unknown to both locals and tourists. Still-life photography remains a main attraction, with each passerby stopping in his or her tracks to inhale and absorb these intriguing moments frozen in time.

So the next time you feel like shopping and getting an enriched dose of culture and art at the same time, stop by Stars Avenue. It’s something the whole family can enjoy.
