Qassim HAWI exhibition opens to public

Creatives will get the chance to connect at the Qassim HAWI initiative exhibition, part of the Saudi Quality of Life program, from July 27 to July 29.

HAWI is hosting two exhibitions, one in Al-Othaim Mall in Buraydah and one in the Unaizah Boulevard.

Through establishing hobby clubs, the HAWI initiative aims to bring together like-minded creatives in a variety of sectors, such as pottery, fashion and collecting valuable items, to artisanry, public speaking and reading.

HAWI announced that the event was an extension of the previous tours that started in Madinah, then Tabuk, Riyadh, Taif, and now Qassim.

The initiative hopes to bring the community together and support the hobbies of residents, and provides resources for creatives to practice their hobbies on a regular basis in all regions of the Kingdom.

The National Hobbies Portal provides services for amateurs, the establishment of new clubs or joining existing clubs, obtaining statutory licenses, holding events, benefiting from joint workspaces, and obtaining financial and operational support.

Since the launch of the HAWI initiative, in October 2022, more than 445 hobby clubs have been established in 50 cities and provinces around the Kingdom.

The activities and events are associated with the Quality of Life Program Center, which aims to register 6,000 amateur clubs in the Kingdom by 2030.
