Seleena left the corporate world to pursue adventure and creativity in Morocco, where she found freedom and purpose.

A Mission Rooted in Giving Back
At ArtEscape Marrakech, our mission is not only to celebrate Morocco’s artistic traditions but also to give back to the community. A significant portion of our proceeds supports education initiatives for underprivileged children in the Atlas Mountains, as well as rebuilding efforts. This cause is close to our hearts, as several of our artisans come from this region, which was heavily affected by the 2023 earthquake.
By joining our workshops, you’re directly contributing to rebuilding lives, empowering local economies, and keeping Moroccan traditions alive.
