Minister of Culture and Information to open Plastic Art Gallery

Riyadh, May 02, SPA -- The Minister of Culture and Information Dr.
Abdulaziz bin Mohieddin Khoja will open here on Sunday 'the Plastic
Art Gallery' themed "For Gazan Children".


It will be organized by the Ministry of Culture and Information
at Riyadh Literary Club.


The gallery includes 32 artistic pieces, drawings, paintings,
sculptures and photos.


This comes in harmony with humanitarian and artistic facets of the
Custodian of the Holy Mosques' Campaign to provide relief to the
Palestinian People in Gaza.


The gallery falls within the concerns of the Ministry of Culture
and Information to support the Palestinian Cause and it is a true
reflection of the Saudi plastic artists’ stance towards the nation’s
causes, particularly the Palestinian Cause. It also coincides with
the choice of Al Quds (Jerusalem) as the capital of Arab
culture-2009, said Dr. Abdulaziz Al Subayel, the Ministry's
Undersecretary for Cultural Affairs.

The proceeds of the gallery will be reserved for the Gazan
children.
