Standing in the heart of the city and its metropolis, the School of Higher Education in the Arts of Bordeaux is committed to forming partnerships and stimulating a dynamic artistic campus for young creators, of which it is a major player. As a cultural establishment, it thus participates in the activation of the principal elements of the cultural policy as well as higher education in Bordeaux and its metropolis.
Located in the center of the “New Aquitaine” region, the school is part of the Community of Universities and Establishments of higher education in Aquitaine (CUEA), having long had the mission of forming alliances and building projects with the different players in higher education, visual arts and other cultural sectors of the extended region. The evolution of the EBABX public establishment with the arrival of the Agglomeration Cote Basque Adour and Bordeaux Metropolis in its governance for the 2017–18 year, is a crucial step in the confirmation of this position.
