Crafts and Handicrafts Exhibition 2026

The crafts and handmade goods sector is an important economic and social pillar, and a key element of the Vision 2030 objectives, which seek to develop the sector and transform it into a more organized system that contributes effectively to supporting the national economy and strengthening the Kingdom’s cultural identity.

In line with this ambitious vision, Asharqia Chamber, through its Social Responsibility Center, has adopted a strategic approach to supporting the crafts and handmade goods sector. It has made a sustained effort to hold its exhibition for crafts and handmade goods, now in its ninth edition, under the gracious patronage of HRH Prince Saud bin Naif bin Abdulaziz, Governor of the Eastern Province (may God preserve him). The exhibition reflects the Chamber’s commitment to continuing its efforts to support this vital sector and empower its practitioners to become an influential part of the national economy in general and the Eastern Province’s economy in particular.

In its new format, the exhibition aims to develop the creative, professional, and administrative skills of artisans and visual artists, helping to improve the quality of their products and enabling them to display and market them through organized channels that contribute to providing a sustainable income. The exhibition gives artisans the opportunity to display their products in free exhibition booths. It is one of the largest events in the Eastern Province and an important opportunity for artisans and investors in the sector to connect.

More than 305 artisans and craftspeople, along with 31 nonprofit associations, are taking part in the exhibition, in addition to the following entities:
