Doha, Qatar: Fire Station: Artist in Residence has announced the open call for two of its residency programs, the three-month 2024 New York Residency programme and the three-month 2024 Paris Residency programme. Applications will be open until November 2, 2024 and will offer unique opportunities for selected artists.

Fire Station’s Artist in Residence programme is nearing its ninth edition and has since expanded to include a three-month residency at the International Studio & Curatorial Program (ISCP) in New York City and a similar three-month residency at the Cité Internationale des Arts (Cité des Arts) in Paris.

These programmes offer an opportunity for emerging artists to showcase their talent and creativity on an international platform and are designed to encourage the artists by providing them with an immersive experience in the heart of the vibrant artistic scene in New York and Paris.

They also offer a chance for the artist to engage with the international art community, explore diverse cultural perspectives, and develop their creative practice.

Director of Fire Station Khalifa Al Obaidly, commented, “We are delighted to announce the 2025 New York and Paris Residencies, which are excellent opportunities for resident artists in Qatar to refine their skills and gain international exposure. These programmes highlight Fire Station’s commitment to fostering an environment of artistic development and progressing Qatar’s art scene. Strategic collaborations as such will yield great benefits to our artists whose work we are all looking forward to seeing at the end of the programme.”
