Qatar Museums has unveiled its September 2026 public programme featuring free workshops, talks, and family activities across multiple disciplines, including art, calligraphy, and design. This extensive lineup, developed in collaboration with key cultural institutions, aims to foster creative learning and public engagement within Qatar’s evolving artistic landscape.

Qatar Museums (QM) has announced its September 2026 public programme, offering a wide range of workshops, talks, storytelling sessions, creative courses, and family activities across its museums and creative hubs. The month-long lineup aims to engage diverse audiences—including children, young people, adults, families, and educators—through artistic and cultural events spanning disciplines such as art, design, photography, calligraphy, heritage, literature, and creative learning.

Among the highlights are Arabic calligraphy courses, drawing and painting workshops, design and fabrication sessions, as well as artist talks that reflect Qatar’s rich cultural and creative landscape. These initiatives are part of QM’s Fall/Winter season, under the banner of Qatar Creates Talks. The programme fosters collaboration with organizations including Fire Station, Tasweer Photo Festival Qatar, Mathaf: Arab Museum of Modern Art, Lusail Museum, Virginia Commonwealth University School of the Arts in Qatar (VCUarts Qatar), and Georgetown University in Qatar. This network of partners creates opportunities for public engagement with artists, cultural practitioners, and the evolving creative discourse within the country.

Notable events in September include a session titled Creative Infrastructures: Spaces for Experimentation on September 1, followed by the ‘Frame and Focus’ exhibition tour and artists’ panel on September 6. The Fanoon Artist Talks series features presentations by Rayyane Tabet on September 8 and Bahar Noorizadeh on September 29. Additionally, a discussion called Echoes of Cairo: Reviving Egyptian Music from 1900 is scheduled for September 28.

Mathaf’s programme during the month offers workshops and lessons focusing on artistic practice, drawing, calligraphy, storytelling, and creative exchange. These activities are designed to support the development of practical skills and encourage new approaches to art-making.

All events can be accessed free of charge, with prior registration available through the Qatar Creates website. This initiative reflects Qatar Museums’ ongoing commitment to nurturing the country’s cultural sector and promoting creative expression across multiple disciplines.
