Editing Riyadh (section)

==Arts==
The arts can create a big change in societies and Riyadh is no different. There are many Muslim Scholars who have made great improvements to the arts and literature that were from Saudi Arabia. The development of agriculture is said to have pushed the wave of the arts into Saudi Arabia.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.saudiembassy.net/history |title=History &#124; the Embassy of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia }}</ref> One art form that is focused on is Calligraphy as it is associated with the Quran. There is also a history of folk music and folk dancing rituals that are performed in festivals. Poem readings are also very prominent in the culture as there is a poem for almost every event (weddings, funerals, etc.).

In March 2019, the [[Royal Commission for Riyadh City]] launched [[Riyadh Art]], a public art project aimed at transforming Riyadh into an art hub by giving artists the chance to display and implement their talent in public spaces.<ref>{{cite web |author=<!-- not stated --> |date= 29 May 2024|title=Riyadh Art
