Jeddah Art Week 2014
begins in just a few days, and the above photo is one that I took that is being used for all the promotions and announcements of the Art Week events. The splash of yellow paint was manipulated into the photo by an artist. I was thrilled to be contacted by an outfit in London asking for permission to use some of my photos for promoting Jeddah Art Week.

The opening ceremony for Jeddah Art Week will be held at the new open air sculpture museum at the Middle Corniche Park near Al-Anani Mosque. This park is the new home of many of the priceless sculptures that Jeddah is famous for.

Yesterday morning my husband drove me down to the new sculpture park and I took over 400 photos of the area, some of which you see here.

Thanks to the dedication and efforts of the Jeddah Restoration Project and the organization, many of Jeddah's amazing public works of art have been refurbished and repaired and have now been relocated to this lovely park setting along the Corniche.
