Contemporary art networks in Nouvelle-Aquitaine
Created in June 2018, ASTRE – Réseau arts plastiques et visuels en Nouvelle-Aquitaine – (merger of the three professional networks Cartel, Cinq,25, and Fusée) aims to support and enhance creation and plastic expression, to make artistic productions accessible to all, and to ensure the equitable, cooperative and supportive development of the visual arts sector in Nouvelle-Aquitaine.
85 members in 2021
Members of the ASTRE network include numerous museums, art centres, community galleries, artists' collectives, art libraries, places of residence, documentary collections and art schools, as well as the three regional Fonds d'art contemporain de Nouvelle-Aquitaine. They accompany artists, produce and disseminate contemporary art, train future professionals in the sector and develop creative research.
The network, like its members, supports freedom of creation and recognition of the artist’s work. An actor in the co-construction of public policies in the regions, Astre works in favour of the cooperation of all the components of the plastic and visual arts sector, while respecting territorial equity. Astre contributes to the dynamism of the regional artistic scene within the framework of national and European cooperation.
The above-mentioned actions are now being developed to take into account the axes and objectives co-built by DRAC Nouvelle-Aquitaine, the Regional Council and the professional network Astre within the framework of the Plastic and visual arts contract 2018-2020 from SODAVI Nouvelle-Aquitaine signed at CIAP in Vassivière on 28 June 2018.
2022 will be the year of renewal of the industry contract; the State/ Ministry of Culture - Direction régionale des affaires culturelles de Nouvelle-Aquitaine, the Region Nouvelle-Aquitaine and Astre wish to continue their cooperation.
