The inaugural exhibition "The City is Our Studio" by the Urban Sketchers Doha community opened at Lusail's Art Factory in Qatar. The show features works created en plein air by the group's members, who practice on-location drawing and painting to capture the essence of Doha's landscapes and everyday life.
The exhibition highlights the growth of a local artistic community, now 50 members strong, which provides a supportive space for artistic development and exploration of the city. It underscores the role of grassroots art movements in documenting cultural identity and fostering social connection among artists, particularly expatriates, within an urban environment.
