L'école(s) du sud network

Network of art schools in the Provence-Alpes-Côte d’Azur region and Monaco
(Villa Arson, École Nationale Supérieure d’Art de Nice, École Nationale Supérieure de la Photographie d’Arles, École Supérieure d’Art et de Design Marseille – Méditerranée, École Supérieure d’Art d’Aix-en-Provence, École Supérieure d’Art et de Design de Toulon Provence Méditerranée, École Supérieure d’Art d’Avignon)

The network intends to strengthen the influence of its institutions. Its programme of actions ranges from the setting up of pooling tools, such as workshops and seminars, to operations aimed at increasing their visibility among professionals and the public, by organising joint events (exhibitions, etc.).
The aim is to build and enhance cooperation in the fields of teaching, research, support for creative work and the professional integration of young graduates.

This rapprochement also highlights the national and international relations woven by the schools and, on the other hand, promotes a professionalizing context for their students.

Curator and art critic Gaël Charbau curated the programme.
