Candidates have until April 15, 2023, to submit the application for the programme that targets artists based in Qatar, who are over 21 years old and have Qatari IDs.
Director of Fire Station Khalifa Ahmed Al Obaidly hailed the program exceptional opportunity for artists to develop their art practice. Artists will be given studio space in the Fire Station building, free access to the building's facilities and an exhibition to showcase their production, he said.
