IMPART is a platform created to celebrate the impact of QAIC’s art and cultural programs in both our local and international communities. These programs strive to elicit inclusion through expression and increase intercultural awareness to promote and connect innovators. The summit is an opportunity for stakeholders and potential partners to connect with QAIC and the larger Washington, D.C. community at large.
The IMPART Summit is an accessible opportunity for both creatives and innovators. QAIC will maintain this platform as a permanent space for memorable experiences, to facilitate dialogue to empower individuals. In that respect, QAIC will offer IMPART artist grants to prospective applicants to pursue their artistic projects, as well as QAIC’s platform to both discuss and share their work and inspiration.
For more information on last year’s IMPART Summit:
The inaugural summit commenced on Friday, November 19th to Saturday, November 20th, 2021, in a hybrid virtual and in-person event. IMPART consisted of invite-only and public engagements that highlighted a variety of interactive cultural experiences and art exhibitions from the United States, Qatar, and the larger Arab and Islamic worlds. A detailed list of this year’s past programming is available here.
“Connecting Creatives” and artist empowerment are central tenets of QAIC’s philosophy. In that vein, every year QAIC selects several promising artists to receive its IMPART Artist Grant which will “incubate” and support the artists for their artistic venture in the year to come. 2022 Applications will be accepted on a rolling basis. In addition to the grant, selected artists will qualify to speak and exhibit their artwork at QAIC’s HQ in Washington D.C. in 2023.
