Hello The Little Art Qatar

The Little Art has a credible experience of doing international projects. Most of these international projects had been consultancies or short terms engagement.

In Pakistan, we have nurtured some of the unique project models to work with children and youth through the arts. We have been testing these models in the past decade, building technology and developing resources that makes these projects sustainable.

For the past year, we worked on the idea to expand some of our programs to other countries. It is crucial to find local support of organizations and artists to create programs that are sustainable and are able to drive systematic change.

We are launching The Little Art in Qatar, with our flagship visual arts project ArtBeat.

The Little Art in a collaboration with IONext and International Artists of Doha (IAD) launched ArtBeat Digital - National Child Art Competition Qatar, inviting children and youth to express their ideas, fears, hopes, and thoughts through different creative expressions.

The jury will curate an exhibition for prestigious online platform Google Cultural Institute.

If you are interested to collaborate and launch a project for children and youth in any country, please get is touch with us.
