(MENAFN- Gulf Times) Qatar Foundation for Education, Science and Community Development (QF) has unveiled its new graffiti wall at Qatar Academy.
The opening took place at an official ceremony attended by Jassim Telefat, group executive director of Qatar Foundation Capital Projects and Facilities Management.
The wall was created by three local artists, Mubarak al-Malik, Moza AlKuwari and Thamer al-Dossari.
Depicting traditional aspects of local life, it aims to inspire students, faculty and community members to work together for a brighter future, according to a statement.
Al-Malik explained the importance of the canvas being located in Education City.
"Qatar Foundation is a very important place in Qatar, and this is a great opportunity to be able to display our work," he said.
"Graffiti is not a very well-known form of art here, and this is a way to show people what graffiti actually is, that it is not just spray paint on a wall. It is a chance to be able to teach the community about this particular style."
It took the artists one month, from November 5 to December 5, to complete the mural.
The artists were given the freedom to create a piece of art that combined each of their different styles.
Some of the highlights include a woman wearing a batoola holding an incense burner and a dhow, Arabic calligraphy and a prize-winning horse from Al Shaqab.
Over the course of the month, the public was invited to witness the piece of art come to life as it progressed towards completion.
The graffiti wall is a permanent fixture at QF.
