Cultural Storm Notice: termination of the Departmental Council of Health's free loan of material for artists and associations

The Hérault Departmental Council has decided to close the Hérault Scenic Material (HMS) service as of October 1, 2024. Artists, associations and communities will no longer be able to borrow microphones, projectors or speakers for free for their services. A petition is online to try to counteract this brake on culture.
