RIYADH: The Prince Mohammed bin Salman Global Center for Arabic Calligraphy, a Ministry of Culture initiative, has launched four specialized courses to enhance the skills of practitioners and preserve this vital aspect of Arab and Islamic culture.
The courses, focusing on the Naskh, Ruq’ah, Diwani and Thuluth scripts, will be held in Madinah from October to December, the Saudi Press Agency reported on Tuesday.
Led by experienced calligraphers, the courses are open to beginners and professionals. The aim is to position the center as a leading authority in granting calligraphy licenses.
The initiative seeks to provide systematic training in letter formation and script rules, the SPA added.
It underscores the Kingdom’s commitment to preserving this art form, to establish the center as a global reference, as well as foster talent and community engagement.
