Muhay Studio – A Cultural Hub for Artistic Innovation
Founded in the fall of 2024 by artist Hussain Muhay, Muhay Studio is a pioneering non-profit initiative dedicated to enhancing the role of arts and culture in society. Located in the heart of Abha, Saudi Arabia, the studio serves as a creative space where artists and creators across various disciplines can showcase their work, exchange ideas, and collaborate with fellow talents in the Asir region.
Committed to artistic and cultural development, the studio hosts exhibitions, workshops, and training programs spanning visual arts, music, fashion, theater, and filmmaking. It also provides marketing support and career-building opportunities to help artists establish their professional paths. Additionally, Muhay Studio actively participates in major cultural events in Saudi Arabia and beyond, fostering engagement with the global art scene.
A significant highlight is the “REPORT ERROR” exhibition, curated by acclaimed artist and poet Ashraf Fayadh. This milestone event showcases the results of a six-month mentorship program where artists were given space to experiment and innovate. Under Fayadh’s guidance and Muhay’s coordination, the exhibition presents bold and culturally rich works that push creative boundaries.
Muhay Studio stands as a cornerstone of Saudi Arabia’s cultural transformation, aligning with the Kingdom’s vision of becoming a global arts hub. By nurturing young talent and fostering a dynamic creative community, the studio plays a vital role in shaping the future of contemporary art in Saudi Arabia.
