National scenes
Bringing together the old houses of culture (early 1960s), the centres of cultural action (from 1967) and the centres of cultural development (from 1975), the network of national scenes was unified by this label in 1991. Today, 77 of them are located throughout the country, the vast majority in medium-sized cities with populations between 50 and 200,000. The national stages offer the public a multidisciplinary programme in the field of performing arts and, for places with adapted spaces, visual arts and cinema, reflecting the main trends of contemporary artistic production. They offer artists the means to carry out their research and creative work and offer the population of the establishment’s area an ambitious and diversified cultural action. They also provide advice, guidance and training for professionals and future professionals who work or are destined to work with artists and the public.
Interactive map of national scenes
The association of national scenes (www.scenes-nationales.fr), supported by the Ministry of Culture, has produced 5 short films presenting national scenes according to 5 themes: pluridisciplinarity, territories, support for creation, children and youth and contribution of the population.
(Find below list and full contact details of the 77 national scenes)
