An invitation for artists to participate in the RIHF Art Exhibition on 1-2 March 2020

In conjunction with King Salman Humanitarian Aid and Relief Centre’s 2nd Riyadh International Humanitarian Forum, which is taking place from 1-2 March 2020, we are now accepting applications for submissions of original artwork to be displayed at a Humanitarian Art Exhibition being on the margins of RIHF.  

The purpose of the exhibition is to highlight the concept of humanitarianism in all aspects of society, and all submissions should relate in some way to humanitarian work, generosity and the spirit of helping others. Selected contributors will have a unique opportunity to showcase their work at an important global event attended by world leaders, dignitaries and top officials in the humanitarian field; significant media coverage is also expected at the Forum.  

This exhibition will serve as a space for creators to share their artistic expressions about the importance of supporting people in need, and for illustrating the important role played by humanitarian workers and organizations seeking to alleviate human suffering. The event will also create the opportunity to bring together artists from various backgrounds to share their craft and discuss the importance of art in broadening public interest in the humanitarian field.
