Qatar Museums has announced that it has brought on three new partners as part of its hugely successful arts and cultural membership programme, Culture Pass, which draws together a wealth of cultural experiences on offer across Doha.
The three partners are the Doha Film Institute (DFI), Amlak–a wholly-owned subsidiary of Qatar Foundation, managing business units and providing integrated asset management and operation solutions in the real estate and hospitality and leisure industries; and Nuqat – a Kuwait City-based non-profit organisation dedicated to the development of creativity in the Arab world.
Among the many great benefits already on offer, Culture Pass members will now be offered free and discounted tickets all year round to DFI events, including its Ajyal Youth Film Festival, regular year-round screenings and Qumra event.
Amlak will offer a range of discounts at some of its hotel and restaurants including an extra night’s stay at Al Shaqab Hotel.
Nuqat will offer Culture Pass members discounts on all workshops and activities, which include training programmes and cultural entertainment in both Arabic and English covering topics in visual, therapeutic, commercial and performing arts, in addition to creative entrepreneurship.
Commenting on the new partnerships, Sheikha Nouf Mubarak Saif Ahmed al-Thani, acting head of membership at Qatar Museums, said: “Under the visionary guidance of our chairperson, HE Sheikha Al Mayassa bint Hamad bin Khalifa al-Thani, these new partnerships will encourage further cultural exchange and inspire a culture of creativity and innovation across Qatar.”
The Culture Pass programme, launched in May 2014, welcomed in February this year its 10,000th member. The tailored programme offers members the chance to experience exclusive benefits linked to diverse cultural activities across Qatar. Members receive a huge range of benefits including access to workshops that develop creative skills and explore exhibition themes; dedicated newsletters with all the latest on Qatar’s arts and culture scene; opportunities to attend exclusive, VIP exhibition openings; private tours of galleries and discounts of up to 15% at QM cafes, gift shops and selected sites.
The Culture Pass programme is free of charge and open for all to enjoy. The programme is aligned with Qatar Museums’ vision of enriching the lives of all those who live in and visit Qatar, as well as inspiring an indigenous culture of creativity and innovation.
