Festival City Sheds Light on Local Talents Exhibition

From June to August, local artists create and exhibit their paintings at the mall on the first-floor WestSouth hallway.

The art display is hosted under the umbrella of Doha Festival City’s ‘Qatar Unites Us’ CSR initiative. Committed to supporting Qatar’s artists, Festival City will offer local painters their own canvas to unleash their artistic talent live during the mall’s working hours. Once finished, the paintings will be displayed across the mall, allowing guests to enjoy their shopping journey with a unique cultural experience.

The self-taught Romanian artist, Cristina Dinu, a member of Doha Artist Collective Group, said: “Sports is a universal language, and therefore I decided to link my artworks to the much-awaited 2022 FIFA World Cup. It will be the first time I will explore a larger-scale art form, and I’m looking forward to this amazing learning experience”.

Another featured independent artist Erum Khalid, from Pakistan, will showcase artworks representing the diversity of nationalities living in Qatar, reflecting the main theme of ‘Qatar Unites Us’ initiative.

For Shihar Hamza, a self-taught artist and a member of International Artists Doha and The Indian Art Community, art is an expression of feelings and a domain of absolute freedom: “Art is my passion, and I am grateful to Doha Festival City for offering me another wonderful opportunity to share my vision of the world with the Qatar community,” he said. ✤
