Teach your course in Morocco.
We want to see faculty led study abroad programs bridge global gaps and result in international creative collaboration. Our studios are ideally set up for teaching art classes and our resources can open up the rich culture of this beautiful land and people to your students. We are happy to work with faculty and program directors to develop the perfect combination of tours, outings, creative round tables, studio set-up, and any number of other details, so that your students will have the optimal balance of research, immersion and production under your leadership.
Consider applying for an art residency yourself prior to your faculty led course so that you can immerse yourself in the context and focus on your own research and production as part of preparing to lead your students here.

I have never been to a place quite like Tetoaun before. My perspective of art completely changed after visiting Morocco.
