Hamad International Airport (HIA) celebrated World Art Day by organising a community engagement initiative with Virginia Commonwealth University School of the Arts in Qatar (VCUarts Qatar) students.
The initiative was aimed at spreading awareness on creative activity across the globe.
As part of the occasion, a group of 26 VCUarts Qatar students drew inspiration from the iconic Lamp Bear art piece to produce a charcoal drawing, presenting the artwork from their unique perspectives.
The drawings will be produced into a GIF (graphics interchange format) and will be promoted across HIA
media channels.
Abdulaziz Abdulla al Mass, VP Marketing and Corporate Communications at HIA, said: “We are happy to host Virginia Commonwealth University School of the Arts in Qatar students in HIA and witness their creativity in play. Creative thinking and innovation are integral parts of art and are key drivers in the global dialogue. The airport opens its doors to art lovers, inviting them to get inspired by the passenger experience at HIA.”
Jesse Payne, Art Foundation assistant professor at VCUarts Qatar, said: “World Art Day marks an important event for VCUarts Qatar and our students. We are delighted to take part in promoting creative thinking across Qatar and the globe. We thank HIA for providing an inspirational platform for our students to be inspired and contribute towards social advancements through articulation and cooperation. This portrays the essence of art and highlights its core values. We are very excited to share our art with passengers and engage the community in our process.”
