Creative Den Foundation

“Here in this wholly mineral landscape lighted by stars like flares, even memory disappears… A strange, and by no means pleasant, process of reintegration begins inside you, and you have the choice of fighting against it, and insisting on remaining the person you have always been, or letting it take its course. For no one who has stayed in the Sahara for a while is quite the same as when he came.” Paul Bowles (1963)

The Creative Den Foundation believes that art has the power to transform.  

Artist residencies provide a connection to materials, environment, cultures and creative practices, encouraging cross-cultural dialogue through the arts.

Running for 3-4 weeks, our residency provides:

• a studio space
• locally sourced materials
• access to craftsmen
• connections into the heart of the community

The residency allows the artist to explore the unique environment and landscape of the Draa Valley.  Opens up and changes perspective and perception of time and place and facilitates a space for artistic, personal and cultural growth, to build relationships and to nurture your artistic practice.
