ATHR

Since its inception in Jeddah in 2009, ATHR Gallery has played a pivotal role in building the contemporary art scene in Saudi Arabia, valuing experimentation and the exploration of new ideas and the impact they can have on societies. As a tireless supporter of young as well as established artists from Saudi Arabia and the Arab region, ATHR provides a number of opportunities for furthering knowledge and experience within its multidisciplinary spaces in Jeddah, Riyadh, AlUla, and beyond, such as international residencies, special commissions, international group exhibitions, symposia, funding, and more. ATHR was founded by Hamza Serafi­ and Mohammed Hafi­z, whose passion and network allow ATHR to have a deeply engaged discourse in the local art scene. ATHR fills the absence of public art institutions, museums, and art schools to establish a sustainable art scene open to the world while also working within an international context.
