How Fez Art Residency Works

Independent Practice, Cultural Immersion, and Artist-Led Programmes in Fez, Morocco

Fez Art Residency
Artists visit the Medina for different reasons - to focus, explore, develop their practice, or reconnect with their mojo. Fez Art Residency provides the base, context, connections, and support - what happens next is up to you.
Immersion Week
Some artists arrive in Fez wanting to understand the city before committing to a longer stay. The Artist Immersion Week offers time, context, and guided entry into the Medina - observe, work, and decide what comes next.
Host a Retreat
Some artists want to return to Fez with their community. Host a Retreat makes this possible with accommodation, local knowledge, and on the ground support - you design the programme and bring your community.

Upcoming Retreats

Our artist-led retreats are hosted at Dar Drouj, many developed through our Host a Retreat programme. We provide the base and local context - you design the programme and lead the experience.

The CARES Framework
At Fez Art Residency, professional development sits alongside artistic practice. The CARES framework underpins this, offering a way to understand how your work is encountered, supported, and sustained over time.
