A Decade of Innovation

Tracing our ten-year journey from a local Lille collective to a premier European hub for interdisciplinary artistic creation.

2014
The Lille Collective

ASSOCIATION ECO was founded at 12 Place Saint-Hubert with a mission to dismantle disciplinary silos. Our first collaborative workshops in Lille brought together visual artists and performers, proving that innovation thrives at the intersection of diverse creative practices.

European Residencies

We expanded our horizons by launching the first cross-border residency program. By facilitating exchange between young French artists and European counterparts, we transformed our Lille headquarters into a vibrant laboratory for international cultural dialogue.
