Cadillac hosts emerging artists at art night 2017
As patrons of the arts and culture, and as part of their outreach program, Cadillac Alghanim organized an art exhibition in their showroom in Al-Rai for six local emerging artists: Omar Jassim Althafiri, Zainab Dashti, Yaqoub Yousef Al-Ali, Ahmad Muqeem, Mariam Hamad Al-Ghaith and Anwar Nasser.
To further encourage the artists, Cadillac Alghanim held a competition where each artist submitted a work depicting one of Cadillac’s models. A panel of highly renowned established Kuwaiti artists including Redha Salem, Suheila AlNajdi and Ibrahim Al-Atiyi were joined by Nadeem Ghareeb, Regional Marketing Manager for Cadillac Middle East, to judge the awards.
The audience also had a say in the voting and each attendee was handed a link where they could cast their votes. The final combined scores of the judges and audience determined the winners. Cadillac Alghanim awarded the first two winners with a 3-night, all expenses paid, business trip to Dubai with tickets to attend an art exhibition and ‘Sole DXB’, a highly-regarded lifestyle event in the city. The first winner also received a cash prize of KD500.
The first prize went to Ahmad Muqeem, and the second prize went to Omar Jassim Althafiri. All 6 participants where commemorated by Cadillac Alghanim’s General Manager, Mohamed Eltalkhawi, for their contributions, efforts and artistic talents and each received the gift of a twoday test drive of a Cadillac.
Eltalkhawi commented “We are very proud of the youth in Kuwait and the artistic talents they exhibit, it is indeed Cadillac’s ethos to collaborate with them to highlight the importance of culture and the arts in building the future. I want to take this opportunity to thank our esteemed judging panel who have given their time in the promotion of the arts, and to all those who have attended today for their belief in art as a mission. We look forward to more collaborative events to come.”
