The initiative will promote and support the local artists, providing them with a challenge and an outlet to exhibit their creativity and bolster their growth, while also showcasing the company’s property portfolio in key cities around the world.Mohamed al-Baker, CEO of Alford Hughes, said: “As an art investor myself and an active advocate for the local art community, I have taken great pride in sponsoring local artists through my private businesses. The assets that Alford Hughes promotes to its investor network are architecturally brilliant, financially enticing and situated in prime real estate markets that are famous for their cultural aesthetics.”This ongoing support to local artists comes on back of the success of a previous similar initiative in which the company collaborated with Qatari artist Bothayna al-Muftah in the design and production of the Global Investor Guide, which was gifted exclusively to 250 local investors, a press statement noted.Al-Baker continued, “Alford Hughes is a unique premium service unlike anything else in Qatar's real estate industry, and I have found that partnering with local artists complements what we do brilliantly and provides a refined touch to our exclusive services and property portfolio."Since its inception, Alford Hughes "has kept the welfare of Qatari investors and Qatari society at the top of its priorities. The company strives to create initiatives that will support local talent and drive development in the market whilst also making the troublesome process of investing overseas as a Qatari national as seamless as possible", the statement adds.
