Creative career event empowers talent in Jeddah

JEDDAH: Art Jameel in Jeddah recently concluded its inaugural Creative Careers Days — a three-day interactive program “designed to accelerate professional growth within the Kingdom’s creative sectors,” the Saudi Press Agency reported on Saturday.

The event featured workshops on topics including photography, design, and digital content, as well as strategic sessions on business management, pricing, and the impact of AI on artistic practices.

By offering portfolio reviews and expert mentoring in legal and marketing frameworks, the gathering “effectively bridged the gap between raw talent and market demand,” the SPA stated, adding that the initative “reinforces Jeddah’s status as a vital cultural hub and supports an integrated ecosystem in which national talent can translate creative skills into sustainable, long-term careers.”
