Registration opens for Fluxus pre-incubation 2026

Since 2019, Bliiida has been co-managing the fluxus incubator alongside the DRAC Grand Est and theAgence Culturelle Grand Est. For 8 years, fluxus has been supporting artistic and cultural project leaders in Grand Est through the process of creating and structuring a viable and sustainable professional activity.

This year, 16 projects are being supported from January to October as part of the fluxus incubation program. Half of them participated in the cultural entrepreneurship discovery days before applying to the program.
