ATHR Foundation Inaugural Gala Raises Funds for Saudi Arts
The ATHR Foundation kicked off its first-ever gala dinner at the Cultural Palace in Riyadh, raising funds to support its artistic initiatives for 2024 in Saudi Arabia. The event attracted a crowd of art collectors, philanthropists, and cultural enthusiasts. Proceeds will go towards the MAAN Grant, which promotes limited edition artworks and reinvests profits into art creation and research. Additionally, it supports the Bait Shouaib Residency, providing studio space and mentorship to 16 artists each year, and the Young Saudi Artists (YSA) exhibition, which showcases emerging talents from the Kingdom. The sale of the second edition MAAN Grant artworks by artists like Zahrah Alghamdi and others also contributed to the revenue.
