This event, which sheds light on the works and creations of participants in the painting and plastic arts workshops of the Foundation’s “IKLYLE” cultural center, is the fruit of several months of work, he added, noting that it also marks the beginning of a long artistic career for these young talents.
Mr. Mourai also indicated that the Foundation promises throughout the year a rich and varied cultural program and offers a set of cultural services for the benefit of the members of the center. For his part, the workshop supervisor and painter, Said Erraji, pointed out that during these artistic activities, there were several reflections with the participants on the works of renowned Moroccan and international artists, explaining that “this first year was focused on researching techniques and different styles”.
“This exhibition represents a festival of colors and fine arts”, he confided, expressing his pride in having supervised and followed these young talents, children and adults, who have created very beautiful works of different artistic styles.

Intended for members of the Foundation and open to the general public, these workshops, which are part of a set of cultural services offered by the network of cultural centers IKLYLE, allow the practice of several disciplines in visual arts and music.
