Katara and ExxonMobil Qatar have announced a partnership in line with Qatar National Vision 2030.
By way of sponsorship, ExxonMobil contributes to the various events organised by Katara on a regular basis, from exhibitions by local artists to world-famous operas.
The strategic partnership between ExxonMobil and Katara will help enhance such events that help express Qatar's pride in arts and culture.
"Katara was born out of a long-held vision of HH the Emir Sheikh Hamad bin Khalifa al-Thani to position the State of Qatar as a cultural beacon," said Katara president Abdulrahman al-Khulaifi. "ExxonMobil's support will make the vision of Katara as a centre for art, theatre, literature, and music a reality."
"The importance of this cultural infusion into Doha is immeasurable to Qatar," said ExxonMobil Qatar president and general manager Bart Cahir, adding: "We are extremely pleased to partner with Katara in an effort to preserve the local culture and make Qatar an international cultural destination."
Qatar is channeling its resources into the advancement of culture, research, and education in keeping with National Vision 2030, providing a roadmap to modernise its economy, increase education and opportunity and preserve its unique cultural heritage.
In addition to hosting daily events and workshops, Katara organises festivals, exhibitions, symposiums, as well as other activities in co-ordination with the Ministry of Culture, Arts and Heritage, along with other government agencies.
It also hosts operas, the Doha Tribeca Film Festival, the Ramadan Festival, the Annual Dhow Exhibition, and orchestras.
