As Qatar celebrated the National Sport Day with various contests, the residents in Barwa City and nearby locations gathered at Lulu Hypermarket Barwa City for a contest of a different kind.
Rainy conditions couldn’t dampen the drive for creativity and passion for art as Lulu Barwa City conducted for the first time ‘The Lulu Creative Club’.
'Lulu Creative Club' is the first of its kind activity to promote creativity among the young residents of Qatar. In partnership with Music Lounge Events, a ‘Creative Club’ was organised for children of ages 4 to 14. There was a free art workshop, an art gallery and also a contest for art. "This was done to encourage a passion for art and creativity and also to develop art as a hobby that will contribute to the mental well being of the consumers," says Shanavas, Lulu Group Regional Manager.
The club started with the workshop at 10am at the food court. It lasted for the entire day with the residents enjoying a time of music, art, dining and shopping.
The director for Music Lounge, Jaisen George said, “Even though the registrations started only a few days earlier, the seats were full almost immediately. We had to ask the Lulu management for additional time to ensure that all participants get a chance to attend the workshop and compete in the art contest. We must appreciate the Lulu group Regional Manager Mr Shanavas for his support and great vision for development of talent in Qatar”.
All participants were awarded gifts from Lulu group. The participants also received certificates from Lulu and the winners received prizes in a special ceremony arranged by Lulu Hypermarket Barwa City on February 16.
