From Canvas to Community: The Allure of Lift, Riyadh’s Creative Haven

In the heart of Riyadh, a captivating art space has emerged, promising to elevate your artistic senses and spirits. Lift, an exclusive social art club, as it aptly claims, is more than just a conventional art hub. It’s a sanctuary for self-expression, community, and boundless creativity. With its three distinct sections—Lift the Gallery, Lift the Studio, and Lift the Space—this innovative establishment is redefining the art experience in Saudi Arabia.


Nouf Bin Abdulaziz, the owner of Lift, shared her motivation behind the venture: “I started Lift wanting a place for like-minded people to let go and get it all out in a community free of judgment. And I wanted it to be my personal sweet escape, but it bloomed and ended up being everyone’s sweet escape from reality.”

What sets Lift apart is its unwavering belief in the transformative power of art. The creative hub doesn’t just aim to exhibit artworks; it aspires to create immersive and unforgettable encounters with creativity. It opens its doors with a commitment to enriching spaces and fostering a sense of wonderment through art.

The process of curating the artworks that grace the gallery’s walls is a fusion of passion and purpose. “We start by brainstorming our upcoming exhibition and checking out our archives on artists we know,” Nouf explains. The meticulous selection process goes beyond bringing art to Riyadh; it’s about bringing exclusive, remarkable art to the city. Themes are carefully chosen, whether they involve solo exhibitions or group showcases that share a common artistic idea or medium.

The excitement doesn’t stop with exhibitions alone; Lift Gallery’s agenda extends to artistic workshops for adults and children. Keep an eye on their social media handles for more updates on these captivating events that combine the world of yoga with art.
