A group of girls from Al-Yamamah University have been working on a website that will provide a platform for all Saudi artist to display their work in one place: stateof-art.com
The launch of stateof-art.com will take place at Harvey Nichols Riyadh on 11th and 12th of May!
"Artists, including photographers, illustrators, painters, and sketch artists have been deprived of a single platform to showcase their work. We would like our website to offer them that which they are lacking today. Our goal is for our website to bring artists together in one place and create a community that is prosperous, while giving the opportunity to artists to showcase their creativity to everyone across the globe", states Alanoud Almotlag (one of the founders of state of-art.com).
According to studies, that the group has conducted, 95% of local artists want a single platform that offers them the opportunity to showcase their work to the largest possible number of people. "The idea behind our business is to develop a website that is accessible by everyone to register as well as post his/her distinguished work. The other section of the website will be the featured artist area, where all works of arts are auctioned off to the highest bidder. This idea not only encourages the artist, but also encourages the art enthusiast who is not able to indulge their interest by the lack of art galleries around Saudi Arabia," mentions the group behind stateof-art.com.
