Artist residencies support the personal and innovative artistic approach of an artist or collective, opening a space for research, creation and transmission within an educational institution. These artistic and cultural education projects are carried out in close partnership with the educational teams of the schools, for the benefit of all students.

Device overview

What is the artistic and cultural territorial residence?

The territorial artistic and cultural residency in schools aims to:

  • participate in the development of arts and cultural education
  • build a collaboration between artistic and cultural professionals, educational teams and a large number of classes
  • deepen partnerships on a territory, complementing other existing mechanisms

The residence is intended to open and shine on a territory. It can therefore concern several schools. In this case, a pilot institution must be designated to run the network of associated schools and ensure the establishment and operation of a joint monitoring committee. A residence can thus contribute to federate the relations between schools, colleges and high schools of the same territory.

More broadly, the action of the residence can reflect on that of a diversity of actors of the territory (recreation centres, youth and cultural centres, neighbourhood houses, social centres, associations, medical and social centres, youth justice protection units, hospitals, retirement homes, etc.). The residence must bring together a significant number of students and a multidisciplinary team of teachers within each school concerned.

Objectives of the approach

The objectives of the territorial artistic and cultural residence in a school setting are:

  • help reduce inequalities in access to art and culture
  • allow as many people as possible to understand the creative process whether it is related to contemporary creation, heritage or scientific culture, or school programs
  • open to another vision of the world and develop the student’s critical thinking
  • to provide a unifying artistic and cultural education for children and young people and their families
  • contribute to the artistic and cultural development of the territory (heritage, public reading, museums, cinema, theatre, dance, music and choral practice, etc.) by integrating the project into a local (communal, inter-communal, etc.) and participatory dynamic (public, schools, municipal and associative structures), while mobilizing the educational community
