Metropolitan and affiliated cultural facilities

Cultural sites operated by Clermont Auvergne Métropole and community facilities of proximity (ECP) built by the Métropole but co-financed and managed by the municipalities, as well as a public equipment for cultural cooperation (EPCC). Clermont Auvergne Métropole owns and/or operates 44 sites spread across the 21 municipalities of the territory. For artistic education, she manages the Conservatory at Regional Rayonnement and mainly finances the École Supérieure d’Art de Clermont Métropole. In public reading, the Métropole manages the network of media libraries consisting of 15 libraries and media libraries, two specialised libraries (Heritage Library and Short Film Documentation Centre/La Jetée), as well as related libraries and bibliobuses. The future metropolitan library of the Hôtel-Dieu, under construction, will eventually complete the network. Under its competence museums and heritage, the Métropole manages the 3 museums of France of the territory (beautiful art at the Musée d’Art Roger-Quilliot, archaeology/textile at the Bargoin Museum, natural history and science at the Musée Henri-Lecoq) as well as 3 museums of society (Vigne et vin, Résistance et Batellerie). In the field of music and image, where she is particularly involved, Clermont Auvergne Métropole has mapped the territory of equipment dedicated to artistic practice, in direct management (the imagO poles), in connection with structuring associations (workshops of contemporary artists in the Diode) or in communal management (rehearsal premises in the ECPs). Other local communal facilities have finally specialised in the diffusion of the live show or the reception of music schools. All these facilities support the axes of inter-communal cultural policy, within the framework of its competences and fields of intervention.
