Artistic educational institutions

The classification of specialist arts education institutions into conservatoires serving a local area (CRC), an inter-municipal area (CRI), a department (CRD) or a region (CRR) aims to strengthen the national network of state-funded education in music, dance and drama. It attests to a consistent standard of quality and professionalism across the board, enabling the support of a wide variety of profiles, from amateur enthusiasts to students entering higher education in the creative arts.
