Handicrafts have long held a special place in Saudi Arabia’s cultural fabric, representing a prosperous heritage passed down through generations. Rooted in the creativity and skill of Saudi artisans, these traditional crafts symbolize the nation’s ingenuity and resilience while highlighting its diverse cultural identity.
Throughout 2025, the Saudi Ministry of Culture will organize an array of events, exhibitions, educational programs, and exciting competitions under the banner of the "Year of Handicrafts." These activities aim to emphasize the cultural and historical significance of handicrafts while supporting their relevance in modern life, said the Saudi Press Agency on Wednesday.
By highlighting artisanry across various sectors, the initiative seeks to foster appreciation for traditional arts and encourage their continued practice and preservation.
Handicrafts, including palm weaving, metalwork, and pottery, serve as enduring symbols of Saudi culture, blending tradition with modernity. These crafts are not only an artistic expression but also a reflection of the Kingdom’s history, values, and adaptability. By celebrating these art forms, the Year of Handicrafts aims to inspire new generations to engage with their heritage and highlight the talent of Saudi artisans to local and global audiences.
The initiative also seeks to empower artisans by enhancing opportunities for their crafts in contemporary markets and strengthening their connection with the global community. Through partnerships across the public, private, and non-profit sectors, the Year of Handicrafts will cultivate sustainable practices, foster innovation, and contribute to cultural dialogue.
As a testament to the Ministry of Culture’s commitment to safeguarding Saudi Arabia’s heritage, the Year of Handicrafts provides a platform to celebrate the stories, skills, and traditions that form the foundation of the Kingdom’s cultural identity.
