This unique, art-centered experience in an artist's studio offers a rare and exclusive opportunity to explore the Moroccan contemporary art scene. During a round-trip day visit from Marrakesh, accompanied by a Comptoir des Mines Galerie curator, you will travel to an artist's studio for an intimate exploration of art and creativity. Along the way, the curator will share the gallery's story and provide background on the artistic journey ahead.

You will be invited on a detailed guided tour of the artist's studio, personally led by both the artist and the curator. This part of the experience is rich with insights, as you'll learn about the artist's journey, techniques, the deeper messages behind their work, and the cultural and historical influences that shape their art. The tour is interactive, encouraging guests to ask questions and engage in meaningful dialogue about the artwork and its broader context within Morocco's contemporary art scene. 

Meeting point is at Comptoir des Mines Galerie (in front of Auto Hall, car wash and gas station).

Founded by Hicham Daoudi, Comptoir des Mines Galerie has become a cultural catalyst in the region — and this experience reflects that vision: intimate, immersive, and artist-led. You'll gain a deeper understanding of what contemporary Moroccan art represents, and how CMG is supporting emerging talent and connecting their work to global audiences.

This experience is unique in how it offers rare, deeply personal access to one of Morocco’s contemporary artists — not through gallery walls, but within the artist’s own creative space.

You’ll be invited into the artist’s process, with the curator providing context around the cultural and creative forces that influence the work. A scenic drive sets the tone, and the experience concludes with a shared meal along with the artist and curator, blurring the line between guest and insider. This is an invitation into Morocco’s art scene — an interactive experience that deepens your understanding of what it means to be an artist in Marrakesh today.

You are accompanied by a curator on a scenic drive to the artist's studio, during which you’re introduced to the gallery’s story against the backdrop of the Moroccan landscape. The distance may vary depending on the studio’s location and the artist’s availability.

Meeting point is at Comptoir des Mines Galerie, 62, Yougoslavie Street, Gueliz, Marrakech (in front of Auto Hall, car wash and gas station).

The drive itself is an unfolding narrative, setting the tone for the day's artistic exploration against a backdrop of natural beauty.

Drive from Marrakesh to the artist's studio.

This is followed by the drive back to Comptoir des Mines Galerie, Marrakesh.

This intimate gathering fosters a personal connection with the artist, enriching the appreciation of their work through stories shared over lunch. This is an unforgettable experience.

The Dialogue

Accompanied by the curator, you’ll meet the artist in their studio for a comprehensive tour that includes the artist's presentation, exploration of works and techniques, and stories/insights into their messages. This is interactive, allowing for questions about artistic, cultural, and historical contexts. Artworks available for acquisition may be showcased and discussed.

This is the highlight of this Experience and allows for an unparalleled depth of insight into the artist's personal journey and the cultural influences that shape their work.
