Lycée Polyvalent Victor Anicet

Lycée Polyvalent Victor Anicet is a public institution located in Saint-Pierre, Martinique, in the historic town set against the Montagne Pelée. Like any polyvalent lycée, it combines general, technological, and vocational tracks, and additionally offers higher education programs accessible after the baccalauréat.

In design and applied arts, the institution offers the DN MADE (Diplôme national des métiers d'art et du design), a bac+3 level diploma conferring the grade of licence, with two specializations: Espace and Graphisme. The Espace specialization covers interior architecture, scenography, space planning, and environmental design; the Graphisme specialization covers visual identity, typography, publishing, illustration, and digital design.

The pedagogy of the DN MADE is based on alternating project workshops, theoretical instruction (history of art and design, culture of arts and techniques), plastic and technological practice, languages, and internship periods. The program concludes with a personal project accompanied by a written thesis, and opens either toward professional integration or toward further studies in a DSAA, master's degree, or higher school of art and design.

The particular interest of this program lies in its Caribbean grounding: projects readily draw on the cultural, heritage, and environmental contexts of Martinique, offering a local alternative for students from the French Antilles who wish to train in design without leaving the territory.

The institution's name pays tribute to Victor Anicet, a Martinican artist and ceramicist recognized for his work on Amerindian and Creole motifs and memory.
