The inauguration of an annex of the National Institute of Fine Arts took place this Tuesday in Agadir, during a ceremony presided over by the Head of Government, Aziz Akhannouch.
Aware of the emergence of art in Morocco and the talent of Moroccans, the government is deploying efforts to meet this pressing need. This cultural structure was rehabilitated as part of a partnership between the Ministry of Youth, Culture and Communication, and the Agadir commune, with a total investment of 16 million dirhams.
After its rehabilitation, the capacity of the National Institute of Fine Arts of Agadir will reach 80 students, visual artists and future designers, during the 2025-2026 school year.
This establishment offers three training courses at the bachelor's cycle, namely: visual arts, design and society, as well as visual storytelling arts.
In a statement to the press, the Minister of Youth, Culture and Communication, Mohamed Mehdi Bensaid, indicated that “the opening of the annex of the National Institute of Fine Arts in Agadir is part of the commitment to strengthen the network of artistic institutions across the Kingdom”. He highlighted the importance of the National Institute of Fine Arts in promoting the national cultural industry.
The minister also highlighted that the training of qualified human resources is essential to strengthen the ecosystem of the cultural industry, affirming that this annex in Agadir comes in addition to the annexes already present in Oujda and Salé.
Subsequently, Akhannouch, accompanied by Bensaid, the Wali of the Souss-Massa region, Governor of the Agadir Ida-Outanane prefecture, and the President of the Souss-Massa Regional Council, visited the “Abderrahman El Youssoufi” garden, located near the annex of the National Institute of Fine Arts and serving as a creative space for students.
