"CENTRE EUROPÉEN D'ART ET DE CIVILISATION MÉDIÉVALE"
It is from the priviledged setting of Conques, ideal for personal enrichment, that the "Centre européen d 'Art et de Civilisation Médiévale" welcomes you and offers you high-performance equipements and structures for your seminars, congress, conferences and receptions: 400 seats auditorium, front stage and sound system (light, sound and projection room and material), speakers and artists' lodges, meeting rooms with media equipement, entrance hall.
Inaugurated on May 1993, the "Centre" is managed by the association ADECC ("association pour le développement économique et culturel"). The main objectives take roots in the territory for its cultural development, town and country planning.
The "Centre" is based on the artistic tradition of Conques and offers a multi-discipline program (shows, exhibits, concerts, conferences) in collaboration with Conques' residents and local associations.
Meetings with artists are offered during programming of artists' residence, in all fields.
Every summer, the Musical Festival invites the public to meet with artists of international fame or young masters alike.
The "Centre" offers, all year round, "heritage" classes and "discovery" days, to approach Conques through a thematic and active way, by combining guided tours and artistic workshops.
The purpose of the "Centre européen" is to emphasize Conques' heritage, the historical heritage in general, to facilitate meeting between artists and the public (show and concerts, workshops settings) and to support the artists' creation and amateur artists in their practice, while elaborating a network with artistic, cultural, social and educational partners.
