By showcasing artisanry across different sectors, the initiative hopes to foster appreciation for traditional arts and encourage their continued practice and preservation.

Handicrafts have always played a significant role in Saudi Arabia’s cultural identity, representing a heritage that has been passed down through generations.

This initiative is a testament to the Ministry of Culture’s commitment to safeguarding Saudi Arabia’s heritage and providing a platform to celebrate the stories, skills, and traditions that form the foundation of the Kingdom’s cultural identity. The Year of Handicrafts seeks to not only preserve traditional crafts but also ensure their continued relevance in the modern world. By showcasing the talents of Saudi artisans and promoting the cultural significance of handicrafts, this initiative aims to strengthen the connection between past and present and foster a sense of pride in Saudi Arabia’s rich cultural heritage.

Throughout 2025, Saudi Arabia will be abuzz with activities and events celebrating the Year of Handicrafts.

The Year of Handicrafts is a unique opportunity for both locals and visitors to immerse themselves in Saudi Arabia’s cultural heritage and experience firsthand the beauty and craftsmanship of traditional arts.

As the Year of Handicrafts unfolds, it is clear that Saudi Arabia is not just celebrating its rich cultural heritage but also looking towards the future by empowering artisans, fostering innovation, and promoting cultural dialogue.
