The emergence of young creation in the region

How to move from a nascent creative activity to the consolidation and realization of a professional artistic project? The main objective of La Grande Évasion is to support the emergence of artists and designers by structuring the activity of young graduates leaving the Bordeaux School of Higher Art Education (and more broadly art schools in New Aquitaine), taking into account the contemporary realities, aspirations and needs of these young professionals.
