EOA was founded by a small collective of artists who met in the mountains of Aseer, Saudi Arabia, in 2003. What began as a border-crossing collaboration, against the backdrop of the last Gulf War, is now an established platform for artistic exchange, grown bold through the realisation of international projects and the grassroots support for its mission. We are currently on the road across the United States.
Edge of Arabia, Crossway Foundation and The Doodle Bar invite you to join us and celebrate the end of an era in Battersea and the announcement of an expanded international programme and new adventures in 2016.

Art in Airports.
Displayed in Riyadh, the non-profit exhibition aims
to expose the masses in the city to various forms
of art by young and established contemporary artists from Saudi Arabia. Each year, the exhibition will travel to a new airport and show current artwork from the region.
Edge of Arabia’s sister organisation, the Crossway Foundation, and Art Jameel, have launched an open call to find the most talented 18-25 year old artists, designers, filmmakers and photographers in the United Kingdom, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait and the United Arab Emirates.
8 winners will be invited on the 2-week creative journey of a lifetime to Japan in November 2015.

The selected artists are Ayman Yossri Daydban (Palestine/Saudi Arabia), Zeinab Shahidi Marnani (Iran), and Sara Ouhaddou (Morocco).

Edge of Arabia and Art Jameel were the proud partners of the Armory Show 2015 respectively as the Cultural and Education Lead Partners of the Focus Section of the fair which highlighted art from the Middle East, North Africa and the Mediterranean (MENAM).
Art Jameel, in partnership with Edge of Arabia, awarded their first residencies at the prestigious Elizabeth Foundation for the Arts (EFA) in New York to Saudi based Palestinian filmmaker, Husam Al-Sayed and Dubai based, Iranian artist and composer SALAR.
