Rebecca Anne Proctor on her new book Art in Saudi Arabia: A New Creative Economy?

In this week's episode of the ArtTactic Podcast, we discuss the
developing art market in Saudi Arabia with Rebecca Anne Proctor,
author of the new book Art in Saudi Arabia: A New Creative
Economy?. First, Rebecca explains Saudi Arabia's Kingdom's Vision
2030 strategy and how the development of its local art scene plays
a big part of it. Then, she shares what the contemporary art scene
in Saudi Arabia was like before the Kingdom's Vision initiative and
how much it has changed since then. Also, Rebecca reveals how the
international art community has responded to Saudi Arabia's desire
to play a larger role in the contemporary art world and if it has
faced strong criticism such as we saw with the Saudi Arabia's
involvement in the LIV Golf tour. Lastly, Rebecca predicts how the
art scene in Saudi Arabia will look in 5-10 years from today.
