This spring, the spotlight will fall anew on contemporary Arab art as the shortlist for the 7th Ithra Art Prize is revealed — a list that reflects the richness, diversity and critical urgency of artistic practice across the region.
The contemporary art landscape of the Middle East is undergoing a profound transformation. New institutions, biennales, and cultural initiatives are reshaping how art is produced, exhibited, and understood across the region. Within this dynamic context, the Ithra Art Prize has established itself as one of the most significant platforms dedicated to supporting artists from the Arab world, not only through recognition, but through sustained engagement with artistic practice.
