Qatar Week 2022

Qatar Week is an annual line-up of events that takes place on the VCUarts Richmond campus every October.  Organized by VCUarts Qatar and VCUarts Richmond, the week showcases the success of the Qatar campus and its researchers, alumni, students and faculty. The week’s events also serve as an opportunity for both campus communities to connect, network, and explore new areas of collaboration.
