Diriyah Art Futures, touted as the first new-media-arts center in the area, is envisioned as a vibrant hub for creative production and exchange. Designed by Italian firm Schiattarella Associati, the center integrates nature into its architecture, aligning with the Ministry of Culture and Diriyah Company's commitment to preserving Saudi Arabia's heritage while fostering creative expression.

The Royal Diriyah Opera House, designed according to Najdi architectural style and global sustainability standards, aims to position Diriyah as a global hub of culture and creativity.
