Looking forward to this! Thank you!
And we look forward to hosting you! Thank you for your warm support, Cecilia.
I am very excited to see Skna Hassan’s art. Thank you for bringing it to KAUST.
Thank you again for taking the time to write, Robyn. As curators, such feedbacks are the reasons and rewards of our tireless advocacy for artists and creatives!
Thank you for bringing this to KAUST. Skna Hassan is a really talented and dynamic artist and it’s a great opportunity having such an exhibition here. Thank you Solkem!
Thank you for having organized this gift shop and exhibition at Kaust!
I am grateful to have been able to buy nice gifts and decoration here. It saves so much time and effort, not having to go to Jeddah and search for it. The articles you brought together were again original and with a curtural touch. I loved the historical pictural story of Skna Hassan about the regional types of clothing, an amazing , beautiful and important story about Saoudi Arabia.
Hi Solkem,
Thanks for organizing Art-mosphere – it was great to be able to buy beautiful and unique gifts from Saudi Arabia from the store. I hope you can get more vendors and products in more often as it is hard for us to source the same things in Jeddah. It would be great to have events like this more frequently and in a bigger space, for the community as there is a huge demand for gifts and of course camel saddles! 🙂 Skna Hassan’s paintings were also a beautiful addition. Thanks for organizing and I can’t wait for the next one.
AAnother Art-mosphere triumph Siolkem thank you so much for the efforts you put into making these events so amazing. I absolutely love the artists work AMAZING and can’t wait for the next exhibition. Keep up the wonderful enthusiasm we are so lucky to have you and your enthusiasm and contacts. As Rupal said if the space was a little bigger would be fab. You are fabulous thanks.
Fantastic opportunity to purchase unique and top quality household items, art and gifts, by artisans here in Saudi! I have been to both Art-mosphere pop up events and purchased something each time. It would be wonderful if we could have more of these events on a larger scale or even a permanent shop with works available from these fabulous artisans and artists. The events are well attended and popular items sell out quickly. The Kaust community clearly appreciate and want more opportunities to view and purchase such stunning artwork from artists as talented as, Skna Hassan. Bravo Solkem, for organizing another wonderful cultural event. Please come back SOON!
I loved it! Thanks for organizing.
