Riyadh is set to open the first inclusive cultural yard on Thursday. Planned by the Ministry of Culture, the center will serve as a vital knowledge space that incubates thinkers, creators, and talents. It also features exhibitions, sculptures, and large areas to host cultural and artistic events and transform the creative talents into promising opportunities for unusual ideas and artworks.

Named “Fenaa Alawwal”, the new center will present an exploration destination and a space for cultural dialogue and exchange aimed at building a diverse community of thinkers and creators, as part of the national strategy to empower culture and turn it into a lifestyle, and create opportunities for global, cultural exchange.
