Quai d’Angers

As an arm of EPCC-Le Quai, AnCRE, which was founded in 2008, supports activities by regional arts professionals and students, as well as cultural and artistic activities in the Angers region as a whole.

The creative economy: a new reality

AnCRE concerns itself with the whole spectrum of cultural and artistic activities, whose common denominator is creativity. This sector also encompasses the following:
• The visual arts, the performing arts, special events, France’s cultural heritage
• The publishing, audiovisual, music and radio sectors
• Product design, communication and spatial design

AnCRE is many things, including the following:

• A resource and networking platform: documentation; updated information online; providing project sponsors with advice; forums for performing arts professionals
For example: working group on creative responses to today’s markets; informational meeting on tools for promoting employment in the cultural sector
• A Pôle Régional Culture Europe (regional European cultural organization): providing information, orientation and support for cultural actors for European projects
• An informal think tank for the creative economy: promoting resource sharing among members of the cultural and arts communities; creating tools that will promote development of the creative economy

AnCRE’s mission:
• promote the development of creative economy, whose potential for creativity and innovation has yet to be fully tapped
• create jobs, stimulate economic growth, and promote social harmony
• increase the appeal of the Angers region.
