About this class

Going Public: a Public Art Educational Journey

This program is a joint venture between VCUarts Qatar, College of Art’s Community and Continuing Education Program, British Council Qatar, and Qatar Museums’ Public Art Department.

The program is designed to allow the community members to access the knowledge needed to develop their own public art proposals. It aims to achieve that by providing a first-hand experience of the public artwork development journey, building a better understanding of the requirement and work needed to be considered while they create their own proposal.

Who can Apply?

Artists based in Qatar aiming to develop their creative careers.
