A meeting point,
a way forward.
Routed Art and Design is cultivating a thriving, diverse creative community in Saudi Arabia, empowering local talent, connecting Saudi and international perspectives, and growing a cultural and commercial ecosystem where art and design continue to evolve.
Community
Artists finding each other, and finding home.
Discovery
New paths, new mediums, new collaborators.
Growth
Room to experiment, stumble, and bloom.
Where creativity, community and commerce meet.
Routed Art and Design works at the intersection of creativity, community and commerce, initiating collaborative residencies and cultural projects, mentoring and platforming Saudi and international creative talent, and building the grassroots foundations and commercial opportunities that allow art and design to inform each other.
It's work that honours heritage, and lets both disciplines thrive on their own terms.
Three things we're building
Collaborative and cultural
Initiating residencies and cultural projects that bring Saudi and international practitioners together.
Talent, supported and seen
Mentoring and platforming Saudi and international creative talent, at every stage of their practice.
Grassroots and commercial
Building the grassroots foundations and commercial opportunities that let art and design inform each other and thrive on their own terms.
A thriving creative community, rooted in Saudi Arabia
To help cultivate a thriving and diverse creative community in Saudi Arabia, one that empowers local talent, connects Saudi and international perspectives, and fosters a cultural and commercial ecosystem where art and design continue to evolve.
Local talent, empowered
Saudi creative practitioners given the mentorship, platform, and grassroots support to create and engage.
Saudi and international, connected

A cultural and commercial ecosystem
