Context

The metropolitan contract for the generalisation of arts and cultural education throughout life is based on the establishment of artist residencies for artistic and cultural education.

These mission residences allow the emergence of projects in synergy with existing actions and resources in the territory and can summon all artistic forms and aesthetics, as well as the heritage field.

They also allow the emergence of artistic and cultural education courses on all times of life inviting children and young people (school time, extracurricular and leisure time), but also the inhabitants of the territory, to seize the proposals formulated by the artists.
