What is this?
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.
What makes this unique?
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.
What is the profile of the host?
A skilled curator from Comptoir des Mines Galerie, alongside the artist, will offer an immersive, VIP art experience. The curator is knowledgeable in contemporary art, history, and culture, and engages guests with deep insights into the art, artists, and their techniques. The artist you meet will depend on availability. You can chat and discuss any specific art interests post-booking with Esther and the team.
What to bring?
We recommend to wear comfortable shoes suitable for the ride and studio exploration.
