To celebrate the Qatar-USA Year of Culture, artists are being invited to create digital artworks that brings the two cultures together.

Artists can create a digital work of art that expresses and is inspired by twentieth-century American Pop Art and Pop artists, and their vibrant and playful take on mainstream culture, while also using Qatari society and culture as a muse.
