Post-diploma « Les Réalisateurs » The école des beaux-arts de Nantes Saint-Nazaire also has the mission to assist its graduates to enter the professional world by presenting them with openings and directions that will lead to professional opportunities. The aim is to create an environment that fosters the emergence of artistic projects by offering young artists production facilities, and theoretical and practical tools for improved professional autonomy, and connection to a regional, national and international artistic network. It is within this context that the post-diploma course Les réalisateurs, formulated and directed by artist Fabrice Hyber in partnership with the management school Audencia Nantes and the école des beaux-arts de Nantes Métropole, opened in October 2013. The artists attending the 2013–14 course are Magali Babin, Aymeric Caulay, Arianne Foks, Steven Guermeur, Yannick Masson, Mehdi-Georges Lahlou.
