Waqif Art Center closed?

Heard a rumour that WAC has closed down.

Is it true?

Anyone know why?

Seems a shame to close down one of the very few places of culture to be found in Qatar. Perhaps they need the space for another coffee chain outlet.

Thanks for the link Khanan. Such a shame. Hope they find new premises.

"non-renewal of rent contract was the reason for the closure"

Anyone know if it was WACs decision not to renew, or were they given no choice but to leave?

Friend of mine went to attend a class there and found out that its closed.

It will be sad if it is converted into another eatery/rest/cafe. :(
