Every year our dream grows, and the journey of creativity grows with it. Therefore, the #EP_GetsCreative initiative returns again, under the patronage of HRH Prince Saud bin Nayef bin Abdulaziz, Prince of the Eastern Province, to reach new heights of creativity.

 

This initiative aims to enable creativity across the board of entities and sectors in the region, through the participation of public, private, and non-profit sectors with creative programs, ideas, and materials to make a paradigm shift in the creative culture of the Eastern Province. This stimulates the economic and social sectors, and builds an environment that discovers and develops talent, to make the Eastern Province the capital of creativity, and the destination for creative tourism in Saudi.

Our ambition has no limits, for a brighter and more beautiful Eastern Province.
