Artist Residency 2017/18
Submissions Deadline: 15th April 2017
We are now accepting applications for the Fire Station: Artists in Residence program which begins from September 2017 until June 2018.
Applications and the Application Checklist must be submitted at the Fire Station reception desk.
The Fire Station Artist in Residence sits at the heart of Doha’s flourishing art community. It provides the perfect springboard for creativity, helping people take their passion to the next level. Visit the Fire Station website for more information.
The Fire Station offers nine-month programmes for artists who are resident in Qatar. During this time, they move into one of the studios, collaborate with fellow creatives and develop their own technique. They meet curators, can access all exhibitions and are encouraged to join lectures.
They benefit from weekly mentoring sessions and meet arts professionals from all over the world, representing Qatar in the international cultural community. The initiative demonstrates our commitment to nurturing emerging talent.
A SPACE FOR THE COMMUNITY
The Fire Station will be a colourful, spirited and dynamic arts centre for the public. Each June, people can view the artists’ work in the public gallery and from next year, they will be able to visit the bookshop, art supply shop, restaurant, café and cinema.
