Doha - Qatar Museums Chairwoman Sheikha Al Mayassa emphasized the country's leadership vision, creativity and investment in people as the foundation for Qatar's future during a discussion at the 11th Art for Tomorrow conference. Despite global challenges, Sheikha Al Mayassa highlighted the extensive program of exhibitions, cultural events and creative initiatives launched across Qatar as part of the Qatar Creates Fall/Winter 2026-27 season.
Sheikha Al Mayassa pointed to the successful opening of the second edition of Design Doha Biennial, which welcomed artists, designers, architects and cultural leaders from around the world. She credited Qatar's cultural development to a strong national vision, supported by investments in education, creative industries and opportunities for future generations. The country's leadership, she noted, is guided by a political will and the understanding that every development is needed in society.
The Qatar Blueprint initiative, she explained, coordinates between stakeholders in planning neighborhoods and public spaces, while Qatar National Vision 2030, initiated under the leadership of the late Sheikh Hamad bin Khalifa Al Thani and carried forward by His Highness Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani, integrates national development with cultural activation. She emphasized that Qatar's greatest asset is its people, both Qatari citizens and expatriates who have chosen to make the country their home.
During the conversation, Sheikha Al Mayassa also touched on Lusail City, including the Lusail Stadium which hosted the FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022 final, and the Al Sa'ad Plaza Towers designed by Foster + Partners. The development, she said, is part of Qatar's national vision to create modern cities while maintaining a connection to the country's architectural heritage.
The conversation also addressed the role of Lusail City, the Al Sa'ad Plaza Towers, and the Lusail Stadium as part of Qatar's commitment to developing ambitious projects while preserving its architectural heritage. Lord Norman Foster praised the nation's vision and determination to transform plans into major developments.
