Emerging New Media Artists Programme

Diriyah Art Futures (DAF), the MENA region’s first New Media Arts centre, has announced a call for applications for the third cycle of its Emerging New Media Artists programme, set to launch in October 2026. The programme is designed for artists worldwide who are 35 years or younger, at graduate or postgraduate completion stage, with experience in New Media and Digital Art. The programme begins with three months of thematic and conceptual explorations of cutting-edge topics, presented by artists and theorists through seminars, lectures, screenings and workshops. Following this, participants will work under the mentorship of leading artists and scholars to produce new artworks using DAF’s world-class facilities.
