Jubail, October 17, 2025, SPA -- Visual art in Jubail serves as a vital cultural tool that documents the city's history, highlights its cultural and human features, and links the past to the present, as artists use brushwork and color to tell the story of a city that emerged on the shores of the Arabian Gulf, representing the aesthetic, symbolic, and unique spirit of the place.
