Current phase
The site has been launched and carried on private funds. The next step is to complete the hosting infrastructure and the studio so that the place can open more regularly to residencies, groups and collaborations.
Next step
If this project resonates with you, let us give it more ground.
Mélanzé works best with concrete relays: a residency, targeted support, distribution, a network connection or a financial contribution.
