Doha, June 18 (QNA) - Within Education City, the arts are embedded across galleries, public spaces, academic institutions, architecture, and everyday experiences to inspire learning, spark connection, and deepen understanding of the world. And as this landscape continues to grow, Qatar Foundation has launched a new online space that brings it all together in one place.

The carefully curated page highlights Qatar Foundation's (QF) growing ecosystem of public artworks, tours, initiatives, and learning resources, including works by celebrated Qatari and Arab creators as well as renowned international artists – all available through a single accessible destination.

Community Arts Lead at Qatar Foundation Ameera M. Al-Aji explains how the landing page demonstrates QF's mission of shaping a holistic, human‑centered model of education and community development.

"The arts play a vital role in nurturing creativity, critical thinking, empathy, and cultural awareness skills that are essential for innovation and leadership in today's world," explains Al-Aji. "At QF, the arts are not treated as an add‑on, but as an integral part of everyday life across Education City.

She adds that the platform brings together cultural assets into one entry point for students, staff, and visitors to easily discover artworks, cultural narratives, tours, and learning resources.

"This strengthens engagement, encourages exploration, and removes barriers to access," she says. "And digital platforms allow culture to be experienced anytime, anywhere, and in ways that resonate with different learning styles and generations."

Al-Aji said that the platform reflects QF's belief that art and culture are not peripheral, but integral to education, wellbeing, and community life. "By making these assets openly accessible, QF amplifies their educational and cultural impact, supports lifelong learning, and ensures that its investment in creativity reaches broader and more diverse audiences both locally and globally."

According to Al-Aji, collectively these play an important role in preserving, celebrating, and reinterpreting Qatar's cultural heritage – such as Arabic calligraphy, craftsmanship, and storytelling – while embracing contemporary and international artistic practices. And this balance between tradition and innovation reflects QF's vision of honoring cultural identity while fostering global cultural dialogue. (QNA)
