DOHA: College of the North Atlantic-Qatar (CNA-Q) is hosting a Charity Art and Photography Auction on Wednesday in celebration of a decade of excellence in Qatar.
Over 100 selections of art and photography will be up for bids. Majority of these pieces have been generously donated by members of CNA-Q’s art club and photography club, consisting of both students and employees. Additionally, much of the art was produced by a variety of international professional artists as part of two art symposia held at CNA-Q over the past two years.
The auction will be hosted by Dr Ken MacLeod, President of CNA-Q, and Hussain Al Marri, President of the Student Representative Council at CNA-Q, and runs from 6pm to 9pm.
The event holds great significance as the charity event (with proceeds going to Qatar Red Crescent) is being supported by the industry.
“Our goal is to raise as much money as possible for our charity, Qatar Red Crescent,” said Dr MacLeod. “There are two ways of doing that; one is lowering our expenses to put the event on, and the other is raising as much money on our auction as we can. Well, as of yesterday, both of those just received a tremendous boost.”
Qatar International Islamic Bank (QIIB) CEO Abdulbasit Ahman Al Shaibei yesterday announced that QIIB will cover the charity event’s expenses up to QR25,000
