Ithra is one of Saudi Arabia’s leading cultural entities, and the open call for its 5th Ithra Art Prize, the region’s largest art grant, closes on April 1, 2023.

The Ithra Art Prize is open to established contemporary artists and art collectives from the 22 Arab countries (Algeria, Bahrain, Comoros, Djibouti, Egypt, Iraq, Jordan, Kuwait, Lebanon, Libya, Mauritania, Morocco, Oman, Palestine, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Somalia, Sudan, Syria, Tunisia, UAE and Yemen).
