Open Call | Apply to participate in the third Hayy Matsuri festival!
Hayy Sounds, in Collaboration With Saudi Music Hub, Presents Monthly Learning Sessions
Art Jameel is excited to announce Huda Tayob and Miriam Hillawi Abraham as the recipients of the second edition of the Red Sea Curatorial Open call at Hayy Jameel, with their proposal titled ‘Red Wind, Coral Worlds’.
From February-April 2025 curators from around the globe submitted exhibition proposals to be developed for Hayy Arts’ first floor gallery at Hayy Jameel in Jeddah. Art Jameel particularly sought after exhibition proposals that engaged with themes pertaining to the Red Sea – including but not limited to its connected geographies, histories, ecologies, or the movement of people and ideas.
Art Jameel’s annual cultural festival Hayy Matsuri returns with a new theme and exciting line-up of Japanese performers and artists!
Whether rooted in tradition or contemporary artistic practices, we want to hear from you! A chance for the community to contribute to the festival, exchange with others, and co-create the next chapter of this evolving festival. Proposals are welcome across creative disciplines: product design, crafts, fashion, performing arts, photography, culinary arts, F&B and more.
Hayy Matsuri is in partnership with the Consulate-General of Japan in Jeddah.
This thematic programme invites children (ages 6-15) to “think like artists” by exploring what shapes an artist’s voice, from personal stories and surroundings to imagination and experimentation. Inspired by the different movements in the Khaleej art throughout the 20th century, the programme reflects on what influenced artists’ style and ideas over time.
Join us for a series of interactive workshops led by the Saudi Music Hub in Jeddah (under the Saudi Ministry of Culture’s Music Commission) at Hayy Jameel. The various workshops are aimed to support music education, exchange and collaboration between artists, educators and the wider community. Led by local and regional musicians, each workshop invites audiences of all ages and levels to explore instruments, rhythm, performance techniques and more.
