Viewing The Casablanca Art School at Tate St Ives

If on a festive escape to Cornwall, let Tate St Ives transport you to warmer climes via its exhibition The Casablanca Art School. The show explores the artistic rebirth that followed Morocco’s independence, forged by the experimental teaching methods of the Casablanca Art School in the 1960s and 1970s.

Led by Farid Belkahia alongside Mohammed Chabâa, Mohamed Melehi and others, this pioneering institution spawned a new generation of socially engaged modern artists. Works by 22 of them showcase the Moroccan ‘new wave’, from vibrant abstract paintings and urban murals to graphics and interior design.

Doing London Made Me Shop

The London Made Me shop is a retail store and a creative incubator rolled into one delightful Christmas package. Makers, artists and creatives from the Mayor of London’s Creative Enterprise Zones were tasked with learning the ropes of high street retail before building and trading in this collective space on Carnaby Street throughout December.

You can snap up the fruits of their labours, including limited-edition artworks, homewares, clothing, ceramics and gifts. Plus, visitors are encouraged to get in on the action via the store’s programme of workshops and events, including in-store live art murals, artist portrait sessions and more.
