Artist in Residence has announced the launch of 9th edition of the Artist in Residence programme

The 9th edition of the Artist in Residence (AIR) program will begin on June 1st, and the artists chosen for this edition will also be unveiled, according to Artist in Residence. The program for this year will take place from September 15, 2024, to June 15, 2025. 

The Artist in Residence project at Fire Station stands as a world-class artist residency initiative meant to cultivate and promote Qatar’s artistic abilities. Artists are provided with a transformative nine-month platform to hone their creative abilities through professional mentoring, production support, and curatorial advice.

Access to studio space for the purpose of developing talent is also included. Artists will have the chance to display their works in an approximately 700 square foot exhibition presented at the Fire Station's Garage Gallery upon completion of their residency.

Fifteen artists were chosen from over 140 proposals submitted during the Open Call, which was held from February 11, 2024 until April 14, 2024.
