About us

ExB cultural Association has the aim to promote, develop and support the artistic and musical expressions. This non-profit organization also has a goal to inform and encourage meetings of different competences, in order to conceive and to organize projects.
ExB federates combined efforts of movements and existing organizations working in music direction, art and live spectacles. Our activities are intermingled with structures having proven reliability in the field of creation and artistic diffusion.
We support long-life bands and we hate the combinatory in music!
