Welcome to the Future of Art
ARQA Riyadh
The Door to Legacy,
Luxury, and Latitude.
Riyadh is not simply the host of ARQA — it is the very reason this fair belongs here.
The capital of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia stands at the intersection of history, wealth, and unprecedented ambition. As the centerpiece of Vision 2030, Riyadh is undergoing a historic transformation — not only modernizing, but redefining itself as a cultural, economic, and diplomatic epicenter on the world stage.
Strategically located at the geographic heart of the Middle East, Riyadh offers unmatched access to Europe, Asia, and Africa — a crossroads city that naturally connects continents, collectors, and capital. Its ultra-modern infrastructure and growing luxury sector make it an ideal staging ground for serious cultural and commercial exchange.
But beyond accessibility lies a deeper current — Riyadh is on a mission. The Kingdom is injecting billions into its cultural and creative economy. Art collecting is no longer private—it is national policy, and collectors across the region are being empowered to acquire, preserve, and exhibit with world-class ambition.
ARQA aligns perfectly with this environment: a highly curated fair designed for those who recognize that art is not just culture — it is capital, diplomacy, identity, and vision.
Hosting ARQA in October–November is no coincidence. This is the season when Riyadh opens its doors to the world — during a peak of international forums, royal receptions, art biennales, and investor summits. The weather is flawless, the programming is at its height, and the city is alive with curated opportunity.
To attend ARQA is to stand at the center of a new global gravity.
To exhibit in Riyadh is to position your gallery or institution at the front row of the most ambitious cultural initiative in modern history.
To collect here is to shape a future legacy in a nation that values art not only for beauty, but for nation-building.
