A Fully Funded ART RESIDENCY for MOROCCAN EMERGING ARTISTS!
GREEN OLIVE ARTS is pleased to offer this residency grant for Moroccan emerging artists, in Tetouan, Morocco!
This grant was made possible by generous donors who share our commitment to promoting and facilitating the Moroccan arts movement.

Applicants must be early in their career, recent graduates, OR 4th year art students from one of the fine arts institutes of Morocco. For those who are awarded this residency grant, it will pay for ALL residency fees (except for a 200 MAD deposit which must be paid within 1 week of acceptance to secure the space). A 700 MAD materials stipend is also included with the grant.
