The Diriyah Gate Development Authority (DGDA) and the Saudi Arabian Society for Culture and Arts (SASCA) signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to boost collaboration on various projects, initiatives, and events, leveraging SASCA's rich publications to support DGDA's mission.

The memorandum encompasses a wide range of collaborative efforts, including the organization of national events and holidays, the revival of musical performances, and the use of DGDA’s facilities, theaters, and cultural assets for the SASCA's programs and projects.

Furthermore, the MoU sets the stage for joint initiatives that promote community engagement, providing training and empowerment opportunities for the people of Diriyah, as well as innovative cultural and artistic programs aimed at enriching the local community.

This partnership reflects the shared commitment of both parties to increase appreciation for and participation in the cultural and artistic sectors, empower artists and talented individuals in this field, and document their efforts to revitalize the cultural landscape of Saudi Arabia.
