Galerie d'Art Moulay El Hassan

A public exhibition venue for artists of the Oriental region

Galerie d’Art Moulay El Hassan is one of Oujda’s reference spaces for visual-art exhibitions and openings. It provides a public-facing venue where artists from the city and the wider Oriental region can present their work, meet audiences and take part in the region’s cultural calendar.

Local scenes and public access

Regional galleries play an important role in an artistic ecosystem: they make work visible outside private studios, create occasions for critical discussion and allow students or first-time visitors to encounter contemporary art without the commercial pressure of an art fair. Depending on the programme, exhibitions may include painting, sculpture, photography or group presentations connected to local associations and cultural events.

Exploring Oujda through its art spaces

The gallery’s programme changes throughout the year, so current announcements should be checked before visiting. Pair the visit with the Banque Populaire Art Gallery, the historic Palais Dar Sebti and cultural events taking place in Oujda.

Galerie d'Art Moulay El Hassan contributes through curatorial choices: which artists are shown, how works are placed in context and whether exhibitions create genuine discussion. The quality of the active programme is therefore more important than the simple presence of a gallery room.
