A wealth of artistic talent was on display at a temporary art studio at the RasGas Company Limited’s (RasGas) premises last week.
Three prominent Qatari artists set up a temporary studio and shared their experience with RasGas employees.
The temporary studio was part of a project dubbed Artists in Residence which offered artists and employees an opportunity to inspire and be inspired by one another.
While the artists were working on their pieces in their temporary studio, employees were invited to browse a selection of their recent works on display. Those wishing to brush up on their drawing talents were also given a chance to attend one of two still life drawing workshops led by prominent Qatari artist Eman Al Hidous together with Ali Al Kuwari.
“Reaching out to the local community is one of the four cornerstones of our Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) programme. We’re very proud to host this Artists in Residence project which saw the new generation of local artists promote traditional art forms and use it as a common language to engage with our widely diverse workforce,” said Ali Zayed Al Marri, Public Affairs Manager at RasGas.
To maximise the Artists in Residence Project’s reach within RasGas, it was hosted for two consecutive days at the company’s Doha headquarters and Ras Laffan building. A selection of paintings resulting from this will be featured in one of the company’s future projects.
RasGas has been collaborating with local artists at several other occasions as well. In a recent event, RasGas invited the Qatar Photographic Society to Ras Laffan to take black and white close up shots of the Helium 2 facility and featured them at the facility’s inauguration ceremony.
