As part of the policy on the development of artistic and cultural education in schools led by the rectorates of the three academies of Ile-de-France and the Regional Directorate of Cultural Affairs (DRAC), optional arts or specialty courses are delivered in high schools. They are built in partnership with a cultural structure.
Presentation of the device
The Regional Directorate of Cultural Affairs of Ile-de-France (DRAC IDF) aims to include the development of specialty and optional arts education in a policy of territorial and cultural equity, in partnership with the rectorates of Paris, Créteil and Versailles.
This shared responsibility is reflected in the joint validation of the teaching map (dance, drama-expression, audiovisual cinema, circus arts), the presence of a qualified cultural reference structure, the artistic education project and its follow-up.
The partnership between the school and the cultural structure of reference is the subject of a triennial agreement on artistic education, validated by the school’s board of directors. Each year, an amendment to the convention, drafted by the cultural structure and the establishment, is sent to the DRAC. This amendment is worth a grant application to DRAC Ile-de-France for the year 2023/2024.

Only the cultural structures for which there is an artistic education partnership agreement with a school in Ile-de-France are eligible.
Procedure
Adaptation to the reform of the general and technological baccalaureate requires that specialty education be reserved at the First and Final levels. The remuneration of participating artists and professionals in this context is entirely covered by the DRAC Ile-de-France. On the other hand, the optional courses and the second pool are co-financed at parity with the rectorates of Paris, Créteil and Versailles.
A flat-rate surcharge of 150€ is paid to cultural structures working with high schools located in the Grande Couronne.
The amount of the subsidy paid by the DRAC varies according to the education provided:
- For theatre, dance and circus:
- 11 232 € for a specialty course
- 2,268 € for optional education backed by the specialty
- €1,500 for other optional courses
- 756 € for the second pool (institution without optional education)
- For cinema:
- 10 365 € for a specialty course
- €1,500 for optional education
The grant is paid at the end of the first quarter of 2024 for up-to-date structures of administrative formalities.
Applications are automatically accepted because an agreement has already been signed between the school and the cultural structure, subject to having completed a review of artistic education carried out the previous school year and presented a project for the current year.
- Opening of the filing: 25 September 2023.
- Application deadline: 20 November 2023, 23:59 (Paris time). No application can be filed or taken into account after this date.
- Grant payment: end of first quarter 2024
