The certified training organization Val de Garonne Arts School (VGAS) has completed its relocation from the Marmande Training Center to the innovative Minga Village coworking space. The nonprofit arts school, which specializes in digital publishing, digital cultures, cinema, and illustration, has established its new headquarters in converted shipping containers within the shared workspace facility.
VGAS had been operating from the Cité de la formation in Marmande since 2017, where it built a reputation as a leading institution for creative education and professional training. The school's decision to relocate represents a strategic move toward a more collaborative and modern educational environment that aligns with contemporary creative industry practices.
The new location at Minga Village offers the school access to a dynamic coworking ecosystem housed within repurposed containers situated under one of the hangars at the Cesame facility. This innovative workspace concept provides VGAS with modern facilities while fostering connections with other creative professionals and entrepreneurs who share the collaborative environment.
The relocation reflects the growing trend of educational institutions embracing flexible, community-oriented spaces that encourage cross-disciplinary collaboration and innovation in the creative arts sector.
