23 New Artists To Showcase Works At Fire Station Museum

(MENAFN- Gulf Times) The Fire Station Artist in Residence (AIR) is hosting artists participating in the current edition of its Intensive Arts Study Programme.

The artists are continuing their creative work within the artist residency programme, as part of a comprehensive educational and artistic experience, culminating in a final exhibition in October 2026.

The programme selected 23 artists from among the 996 applications submitted in this edition, reflecting a high level of interest and the programme's prominent standing as one of the leading initiatives supporting contemporary arts in Qatar.

The Intensive Arts Study Programme is an annual initiative held at the Fire Station. It is open to artists of all nationalities, offering an intensive curriculum that combines practical work in studios, specialised workshops, seminars, group critique sessions, and lectures delivered by artists, curators, and thinkers from around the world.

Through this blend of artistic practice, theoretical reflection, and critical discussion, the programme aims to develop traditional art education methods, empowering artists to deepen their creative and critical perspectives and engage with contemporary artistic issues.

The programme represents a pivotal point for emerging visual artists, providing them with an immersive, multidisciplinary artistic environment that contributes to refining their technical skills, enriching their intellectual methodologies, and broadening the horizons of their creative practices within a supportive and stimulating professional context.

The programme is part of Qatar Museums' vision to establish the country as a global hub for artistic innovation and cultural dialogue by supporting emerging talent and fostering knowledge and cultural exchange.

Throughout the year, the programme features international instructors and experts who deliver public lectures and open discussions, contributing to the revitalisation of the local art scene and enhancing engagement with the public.

The current edition of the Intensive Art Study Programme is scheduled to culminate in a final exhibition in October 2026, showcasing the artistic experiences and projects developed by the participating artists during their residency at the Fire Station.
