Edge of Arabia’s participation at the Global Competitiveness Forum (GCF) in 2010 represented the launch of a historic world tour which built on earlier exhibitions in London (2008) and Venice (2009).The launch included an art exhibition, press conference, workshops and artist book signings.
“What started off as a grass roots group of artists coming together in the mountains of Southern Saudi Arabia, has developed into a project of international significance. In launching the world tour in the capital of Saudi Arabia, we aim to amplify the moderate voices of a new generation of artists, and send a powerful and positive message to audiences around the world.”
