New Chair Established at École du Louvre
On June 9, 2026, L'ŒIL revealed that the École du Louvre will establish a new academic chair, with details exclusively for subscribers. This initiative reflects a broader movement in French art education. Additionally, the Académie des Arts Appliqués de Dijon was formally closed on April 3, 2026, due to a judicial liquidation ruling. In another development, ENSCI has partnered with Sciences Po Lyon to roll out a post-master's program focused on integrating design and political science to address challenges in evolving territories. Starting March 1, 2026, architect-urbanists have taken charge of ENSA Strasbourg and ENSA Montpellier.
