What Mixt does

Mixt is a French public cultural establishment (Établissement Public de Coopération Culturelle, EPCC) created in January 2025 from the merger of Le Grand T with Musique et Danse en Loire-Atlantique. The organization operates as a performing arts venue and cultural programming body serving the Loire-Atlantique department. Its physical base in Nantes, opened December 13, 2025 after three years of construction, comprises two performance halls (salle Super and salle Nova with 350 seats), dance, video, and sound studios, and an artistic garden with covered outdoor spaces. Beyond its Nantes headquarters, Mixt extends programming across the department through touring circuits — EHPAD tours, the PARLA network of artistic partners, and library tours — and develops artistic projects with local authorities.

Mixt's core offering is its performing arts programming — theatre, dance, music, circus, and contemporary creation — distributed via ticketed performances and subscription packages (minimum three shows). It operates four primary revenue streams: ticket sales (€9-€33 per unit, with discounted subscriber rates), venue rentals for corporate events and seminars, professional training programs for artists, and an on-site restaurant-bar called Qui Som offering seasonal, sustainable cuisine. The institution serves five distinct customer segments: the general public (primary), professional artists, arts professionals seeking training, elderly residents in EHPAD care facilities, and business event organizers. Ticketing is conducted through the billetterie.mixt.fr platform (powered by Ressources SI), physical box office, and telephone sales.

Pricing follows a multi-tier structure (Tarif A, B, C) with subscriber discounts and three-installment payment plans; online purchases carry a €1 web fee per ticket, capped at €5 per order. The technology stack is non-proprietary and lean: ticketing on Ressources SI, email/newsletter distribution on Brevo, and Matomo (self-hosted, CNIL-compliant) for web analytics. The entity is publicly funded by the Département de Loire-Atlantique, Ville de Nantes, and the Ministry of Culture (DRAC des Pays de la Loire); the Région des Pays de la Loire voted to exit the EPCC in February 2025, narrowing the sponsor base. Governance is provided by a Board of Directors chaired by Dominique Poirout, with Catherine Blondeau serving as Director on a three-year mandate starting January 1, 2025. Revenue is not publicly disclosed; the organization has 29 employees.
