SEPTEMBRE 2025 - MARS 2026 : séminaires et workshops

AVRIL- JUIN 2026 : exposition

Pour sa 6e année, la filière « Artistes & Métiers de l’exposition » (FAME) lance son appel à candidatures ouvert à une vingtaine de participant·es bac +2, issu·es des Beaux-Arts de Paris ou d’une autre école.
À partir des ressources des Beaux-Arts de Paris, à la fois lieu de formation et d’expérimentation artistiques, d’expositions, riche d’une collection historique et contemporaine de 450 000 oeuvres, maison d’édition, la filière vise à repenser les relations entre création et patrimoine.
Comment rendre tangible les points aveugles de l’Histoire, réanimer des paroles oubliées, se re-réapproprier nos institutions ? Quoi montrer, pourquoi et à qui ? Quoi rechercher et comment mettre en partage ? Quelles stratégies opérer pour instaurer des modes de relations plus vivants dans un monde composé d’intenses proximités en mouvement permanent ?
Nous réfléchirons à comment brouiller les catégories usuelles et normatives des cadres classiques pour créer des récits non linéaires et spéculatifs. Entre théorie et pratique, la filière « Artistes & Métiers de l’exposition » constitue un espace de recherche pour questionner les modalités de production et de partage de l’art, une plateforme d’échanges pour travailler les enjeux de notre société contemporaine à travers une pratique curatoriale et de diffusion élargie, à entendre comme une pratique de l’assemblage qui peut donner lieu à
des expositions, mais aussi à d’autres activités discursives, de recherche et/ou pédagogiques.
En étroite collaboration avec les collections, les étudiant·es et les enseignant·es ainsi que des intervenant·es extérieur·es (commissaires, artistes, chercheur·es en sciences sociales, acteurs et actrices de la société
civile, scénographes, conservateurs·trices, chargé·es de production …), le programme vise à entretenir des collectifs de travail qui s’engagent dans l’échange de savoir-faire et la réflexion collective. Les ateliers et la réalisation d’un grand projet d’exposition permettent de questionner et de valoriser ce qui se crée autour de la pratique artistique, depuis les recherches préliminaires jusqu’à ses formes de médiation et de documentation, en passant par l’accompagnement nécessaire à sa production.

Pour se présenter, les candidat·es doivent justifier de l’obtention du baccalauréat ou d’un diplôme équivalent et de la validation de deux années d’études supérieures en cours de validation au sein d’une formation en art ou dans une université. Par dérogation, le ou la candidat·e doit présenter une expérience de 24 mois dans le
domaine de la régie ou métiers de l’exposition. Pour les étudiant·es de l’École souhaitant s’inscrire en double cursus, l’accord du ou de la chef·fe d’atelier est demandé.

FRAIS D’INSCRIPTION
Les étudiant·es doivent s’acquitter des frais d’inscription aux Beaux-Arts de Paris.
À titre d’information pour l’année 2024/2025 : montant de 451 € ou de 219 € pour les étudiant·es inscrit·es en double formation à l’École.

Les Petites écuries - arts du feu et du faire
Les Petites écuries réunissent des ateliers des arts du feu, des résidences d’artistes, une galerie d’exposition et le réseau Factotum. Laboratoire de production artistique et de transmission, Les Petites écuries soutiennent la création contemporaine et artisanale et sont propices à la rencontre avec les publics. Elles sont portées par les Factotum, réseau de structures de production en arts visuels.

Implantées en centre ville de Nantes, Les Petites écuries s’inscrivent dans le quartier de la caserne Mellinet. Elles ont l’ambition de contribuer à son dynamisme et son rayonnement en amenant des pratiques artisanales au cœur de ville. Le site s’articule autour d’une cour intérieure dans laquelle un outil sort des ateliers : le four à bois. Cet espace, ouvert aux publics et en dialogue avec le quartier, est propice à la flânerie, la création et la production.

Un espace de pratique accueille des activités de l’École des Beaux Arts de Nantes Saint-Nazaire. Les ateliers des arts du feu regroupent l’artisan verrier Arcam Glass et les céramistes Marie Hulbert et Simon Fedou. Les artisans participent au réseau Factotum, qui défend le travail de production artistique pour des artistes plasticien·nes. Dans une dynamique de partenariats et d’échanges, Les Petites écuries et le réseau Factotum tissent des collaborations avec des institutions et des artistes à échelles locale, nationale et internationale.

Color + Space

Deadline for submissions: May 12, 2025

Juror: Ann Jastrab

Prints due: Jun 20, 2025

Exhibition: July 3 - July 25, 2025

Color has the power to transform an image—to set a mood, evoke an emotion, or demand attention. In Color + Space, we invite photographers to explore the dynamic relationship between color and the spaces it inhabits. Whether expansive landscapes, intimate interiors, or abstract compositions, this exhibition seeks images where color interacts with space in compelling ways.

From bold, saturated hues that define a scene to subtle tonal shifts that shape atmosphere, color can be the unifying force within a photograph. We encourage submissions that showcase how color not only enhances composition but also influences depth, perspective, and perception. Whether vibrant or restrained, structured or organic, let color guide the viewer’s experience of space.

We are honored to have Ann Jastrab as juror for Color + Space. She will select up to 35 images for exhibition in our Middlebury, Vermont gallery and another 40 images for our Online Gallery. All 75 images will be reproduced in the exhibition catalog and remain permanently on our website, and be promoted on social media with links to photographers’ URL.

The fine art nude has been a celebrated subject of photography since the beginning and played an important role in establishing photography as a fine art medium. Early on, both in history and most photographers experience, the nude has been featured in a classical pose and setting, maturing to illustrating the human body as a sculptural abstraction, and with some pushing boundaries.

 Analog and digital manipulation in all its forms welcome. Monochrome or color, all subjects, analog, digital or antique processes, photographers of all skill levels and locations where legal are welcome.
