La Fabrique, Artistic Lab(s) is a cultural hotspot dedicated to artistic creation, which aims to promote emerging and innovative practices. Comprised of living spaces open to all, where one can create, learn and keep informed, it seeks to build bridges between art and society, as the creative work of artists serves as an inspiration to the daily lives of others. La Fabrique is jointly managed by the City of Nantes and the 5 local associations who originated the project (Apo33, Microfaune, Mire, Trempolino, Stereolux).
