The project

published on 26/06/2017

Aiming at being in tune with contemporary music, the artistic and cultural project of Les 4Ecluses is also in line with a developmental approach for the area and creative support.
It’s a tool, a means for progress that goes beyond a venue and simple musical entertainment.

This project’s originality stands in its form and geographic location. Located in the heart of the city of Dunkirk, the venue is a meeting point of contemporary music between France, the UK and Belgium. While the directive line of the venue’s projects remains music, it is also at the the crossroad of various forms of arts.
