La Métive
La Métive is an international residency for multidisciplinary artistic creation located in Moutier d'Ahun (Creuse). Its project facilitates social links and cultural action in the rural area where it is located. It encourages dialogue between the artists-in-residence and the locals from the area around contemporary artistic practices by coordinating a festive sharing of knowledge and mingling of universes.
La Métive is a team that invites and accompanies these artists. It fosters their exchange, provides them the means to initiate their project and accompanies them during its development. La Métive welcomes artists or artistic teams at the beginning of the creation of a project.
