The King Abdulaziz Center for World Culture (Ithra) has launched the open call for the 7th edition of the Ithra Art Prize, one of the Arab world’s leading contemporary art grants. Open until October 16, 2025, the prize offers a $100,000 award, with five additional finalists receiving production grants to exhibit their work at Ithra in spring 2026.
Open to artists and collectives of Arab heritage or residents of Arab countries, the prize recognises intellectually and contextually grounded practices. This edition expands the program with a group exhibition at Ithra, where the final winner will be announced.
Since its inception in 2017, the Ithra Art Prize has supported acclaimed artists including Ayman Zedani, Daniah Al Saleh, and Obaid Alsafi.
