ENSAD Dijon partners with the Méo-Camuzet domain for the Prix de la Jeune Création Artistique, rewarding young graduates for works themed around “Your perception of the Climats of Burgundy and the resonance of this intangible heritage.” Established in 2019 for the 60th anniversary of Domaine Méo-Camuzet, the prize aims to support young professionals and promote excellence in creation. The initiative aligns with the school’s commitment to enhance the professional integration of its students and graduates.
Invited by Lycée Henry Moisand, ENSAD Dijon offers its expertise for selecting artists and supporting projects. This residency program aims to enhance students’ cultural awareness and academic success through creativity and artistic practice.
