In January 2014, the EPCC ÉSAL integrated the Cefedem de Lorraine, a training center for dance and music teachers, which now constitutes the music and dance pole of the ÉSAL.
The ÉSAL site in Metz is structured around workshops, laboratories and research centers on interactivity, spatialization, photography and video. The institution of higher artistic education delivers national diplomas in Design of expression, Art and Communication.
