District headlight of the cultural radiation of Paris, 14th is tragically forsaken today by the municipality. The culture, it was yesterday, or it is elsewhere! Last illustration: will of the Town hall of expluser their workshops of 40 rue Boulard the pupils sculptors of the courses of the Art schools of the Town of Paris. They legitimately refuse this explusion and fully let us support we them in their combat.

The Town hall wants indeed to move them of force of these workshops of 125 square meters, where they are installed and where they profit from a cellar enabling them to store the material, to install them in buildings of 30 square meters in Montparnasse! Buildings located on the second floor, completely unsuited to the sculpture, too narrow to store the material, without speaking about the pupils! That means, in practice, the end of the courses.

And all that why? to organize street Boulard of the courses of the Academy. An Academy of 14th the very famous one but dramatically under-dimensioned and which accomodates only with the account-drop the young people and the adults who would wish to practise an instrument. For the Academy, an ambitious solution is essential obviously. Its capacities would have at least to be doubled. Instead of that, the Town hall leaves the rubber patches. It delocalizes, here where there, in rooms of fortune, course by course. And the last idea in date, it is to delocalize a course street Boulard.

To strip is Pierre for putting a sock at Paul, it that the cultural policy of the Town hall? One believes to dream.

But like one does not dream, as the pupils sculptors are likely to be made move of force tomorrow or the day after tomorrow or the day according to, support their combat! Sign and make sign their petition on line on http://www.petitiononline.com/BoulartP/petition.html
