Following a rich, three-decade-long experience in supporting artists and the arts before its inception-including theater, music, and abstract art, Layan was officially established in 2007 by HH Prince Faissal Bin Abdullah Bin Mohammad Al Saud; with the support and contribution of HRH Princess Adelah Bint Abdullah Bin Abdulaziz Al Saud; with the strong belief that art is an engine for our culture and values, and a link between our people, their nation, and its heritage.
