Welcome to the adventure that is North Africa, where the opportunity awaits for you to participate in an Artist Exchange practicum in North Africa, honing your unique skills in art while engaging with local artists, living out the beauty of your faith and asking God if this could be a place He could use you to advance his redemptive purpose in the future.

Working alongside focused servants of Jesus, you will have opportunity to both share your skills and learn from local artists while examining what serving in a cross-cultural setting looks like and how your life and gifts can bring transformation to others.

Art is the expression of culture the world over, and social engagement within these unique communities is a wonderful environment within which to offer hope for the soul as well as daily life. (French language skills an asset.)
