Legacy & Horizon

Each year, VCU welcomes VCUarts Qatar to the Monroe Park campus in Richmond for Qatar Week, an exchange between the VCUarts Richmond and VCUarts Qatar campuses that showcases the success of the overseas branch and its researchers, alumni, students and faculty, and promotes new areas of collaboration between the two campuses. VCUarts Qatar held its first Qatar Day event in Richmond in 2002, which evolved into a week-long program.

Qatar Week 2023 is hosted by VCUarts Dean Carmenita Higginbotham and VCUarts Qatar Dean Amir Berbić and will celebrate the 25th anniversary of the overseas branch campus of VCUarts with a series of events and opportunities to network and interact.

Legacy & Horizon
Featuring VCUarts Qatar’s Alumni and Art Foundation Students

Coinciding with the 25th anniversary of VCUarts’ branch campus in Qatar, the two exhibitions serve as inspiring snapshots of the creative journeys that students make at VCUarts Qatar – from their introductory Art Foundation year to their evolution into career-ready Alumni.

The opening will take place on October 9 at 5pm EDT.

Location: the Anderson at VCU.

Please note: This event will take place at VCU in Richmond.
