To come and study in our establishment for a semester or an academic year is to come and study contemporary art in a dynamic cultural territory. It also means benefiting from the 4300 m² of workshops in a modern building, divided into three main areas:
- Construction (metal, wood, ceramics and glass)
- Image and multimedia (photography, sound, video and multimedia)
- Print (engraving, lithography, offset and serigraphy).
The Beaux-Arts are developing a pedagogy based on the transversality of learning. In addition, all international exchange students can benefit from linguistic support and a sponsor to help them adapt to their new life at school and in Nantes.

Projections internationales
Plunged into a dynamic context of research and production, both local and international, developed by the school's faculty with their international partners, students encounter other realities, other ways of doing, thinking, and producing, which force them to leave their comfort zone, to invent new forms and practices. Confronted with approaches from art history, philosophy and critical theory, postcolonial and decolonial studies, activist and radical pedagogies, cultural studies, urban studies, gender issues, image theory, and film history, they participate in institutional projects (biennials, exhibitions) and artists' projects (production, performances), workshops, conferences, and tours.

Dakar/Rufisque
Presences of the Future
This program apprehends the city of Dakar and its suburbs as a specific context closely linked to international phenomena (globalization, migrations, urbanization, digitalization, planetary condition of the African question, existence of multiple dynamics in progress on the continent) helping to read the world, to decipher our time, to apprehend the great contemporary stakes and challenges, to draw new perspectives.
