Green Olive Arts is an international art studio and urban art residency in Tetouan, Morocco, specializing in connecting the creatives of the world with the culture and creatives of Morocco through professional studio facilities, artist residencies, artist services, instructional programming, and international collaborative events. Green Olive Arts was started by artists for artists, representing the culmination of the dreams of two American artists, Jeff McRobbie and Rachel Pearsey. Prior to founding GOA, both Jeff and Rachel spent years creating art in Morocco and dreaming of how they could open a collaborative art space, where foreign and local artists could experience the richness of creating art alongside each other in a multicultural environment. The Art Residency program is for artists of all disciplines and provides a space for artists to travel away from their normal settings to do research and produce new works in a context offering an abundance of fresh inspiration. GOA offers fully equipped production spaces and opportunities for interaction and collaboration with other local and international artists. Both shared and private studio spaces are available. The large size of GOA’s facilities also allows them to accommodate art-making tours and other arts-educational and study-abroad groups.
