(MENAFN- Gulf Times) Three prominent Qatari artists set up a temporary studio on the RasGas Company Limited (RasGas) premises last week.
The set-up - part of a project dubbed Artists in Residence - offered artists and employees an opportunity to inspire and be inspired by one another, the company said in a statement.
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.
"Reaching out to the local community is one of the four cornerstones of our corporate social responsibility 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, RasGas Public Affairs manager.
To maximise the Artists in Residence project's reach within RasGas, it was hosted for two consecutive days at both the company's Doha headquarters and the Ras Laffan building. A selection of paintings resulting from this will be featured in one of the company's future projects.
