Culture Dijon

The cultural centre of the University of Burgundy is more than 30 years old! A multidisciplinary space open to young people and culture, it offers, throughout the academic year, a plethoric program: dance and theatre performances, concerts, parties, exhibitions, café-debates, conferences and meetings with artists and scientists as well as artistic workshops, free for all students. In addition to the auditorium, the two exhibition halls and the theatre, the premises also have a small café, a pleasant place for meetings and exchanges! Welcoming, punctuated by numerous and varied activities for all tastes, the Atheneum brings together a vast public all the more aware of the cultural world as the student rates allow as many people as possible to come and be entertained and nourish their spirit. Membership allows you to benefit from preferential rates and to receive the entire cultural programme at home.

The city centre library, La Nef, is located on the ground floor of the former Saint-Etienne church in the heart of Dijon. It is not an exception in Dijon, as the Study Library is located a few steps away, in an equally majestic place. Very complete collections on 400 m²: books, films, magazines, in quantity, with a very rich regional collection. Bright work spaces make this library a very pleasant place to work. Keep up to date with the events that take place here: meetings with authors, screenings and conferences... The offer is interesting. Our advice: push open the door to the inner courtyard for a green reading break!

Why Note is a cultural and artistic association whose idea was born in 1996. So it's been some time that she moved into the dijonnais landscape. A few years ago, she organized an eponymous festival that stopped in 2008. Since then, it has taken a new turn, particularly with the opening of the Consortium, which has missionnée it for the coordination of the spectacle living in the places, administrative and technical management, and communication and press actions. A privileged role that allows Mrs. Note to organize real programming throughout the year (especially within the Consortium) with renowned artists. Since 2012, the season is called the Wave and offers shows, festivals and exhibitions from February to June of each year. Objective: to offer staggered performances and to bring talented but sometimes unknown artists without neglecting those who already have their notoriety. You will therefore find the association throughout the city, as the events of which they are either the organizers or the partners. To consult the programming, go to the website where you will find all the necessary information.
