Cultural entrepreneurship
The Ministry of Culture supports and accompanies cultural entrepreneurs in their projects of creation or development of artistic or cultural enterprise; it strengthens its action in favor of cultural entrepreneurship, the professionalization of cultural entrepreneurs and the development of dedicated support mechanisms.
Faced with a lack of support for entrepreneurial projects in the cultural and artistic fields in the Grand Est region, DRAC - Direction régionale des affaires culturelles du Grand Est / Ministère de la Culture is involved in several actions:
The forums "Entrepreneurship in Culture"
Since 2013, the Ministry of Culture organizes the «Entrepreneurship in Culture» forum in Paris; it has gradually declined in all regions.
In the Far East, this event takes place every year, in partnership with the Agence culturelle Grand Est:
- 2017: 1er forum Entreprendre dans la Culture en Grand Est gathered more than 500 people in Nancy through 26 workshops and 2 plenary sessions;
- 2018: the day Grand Est Entreprendre dans le Design in Strasbourg; this day, registered in a regional and cross-border perimeter for any future business creator of the sector, gathered nearly 300 people through 4 tables-rounds and 1 participatory workshop;
- 2019: 1er Franco-German Forum on Entrepreneurship in Culture in Mannheim and Grand Est Day on Entrepreneurship in Performing Arts in Reims;
- 2021: the 4e edition of the Forum Entreprendre dans la Culture en Grand Est explored the theme "ideas & networks" in Nancy; an opportunity to gather 200 professionals from the cultural sector per day around reflections and common issues;
- 2023: in Strasbourg.
The cultural and artistic incubator of the Great East "fluxus"
With a view to strengthening the professionalization of creatives and supporting the creation of activities and jobs, the DRAC Grand Est/ Ministry of Culture launched in 2018 an innovative device, theFluxus incubator, in partnership with a network of actors on the territory. The Fluxus Incubator provides specialized support for entrepreneurs wishing to work in the cultural sector, including artists-authors wishing to combine artistic creation and entrepreneurship. It is a suitable tool for those who wish to give themselves the opportunity to live from their cultural and artistic activity. This arrangement is co-piloted by the third-place messin Bliiida, the Agence culturelle Grand Est and the DRAC. It is distinguished by its artistic requirement and by the provision of a network of experts in the fields of arts and culture. In 2023, the Fluxus Incubator is:
- a regional incubator in 10 cities in the region Charleville-Mézières, Epinal, Metz, Mulhouse, Nancy, Reims, Saint-Dié-des-Vosges, Sélestat, Strasbourg and Thionville;
- a network of thirty partners varied profiles: Culture schools, third places, venues, associations and professional networks;
- 5 promotions
- a 6e promotion of 11 projects under incubation ;
- an annual call for applications : next 2024 campaign to come
