About

The Fire Station was originally built in 1982 and was the home of Qatar's first civil defence authority until late 2012, operating as a working fire station. It was repurposed and renovated in 2014 as an 'adaptive reuse project' to host Fire Station: Artist in Residence initiative. The Fire Station gives artists a space for creativity through artistic residency programs and attracts members of the local community in Qatar through the activities and opportunities available to them, which include exhibitions and public programs.
