Culture is an essential building block for a democratic, modern, open, tolerant and inclusive society. One of the objectives of cultural policy is to create the best conditions to enable artists to carry out their activities, to develop their creative potential, to freely produce their works and to develop their own expression of life in society.
With this in mind, the State has implemented a series of measures and mechanisms to promote the development and expansion of artistic and cultural professions, such as the grant to support artistic creation and the professional development of artists.
The purposes of the grant are as follows:
promote research, creation and development by providing authors and artists with the necessary resources to produce works and carry out various activities related to their artistic process throughout their career;
provide support to artists who wish to progress in their discipline or acquire new skills to further their career;
support creative activities that can lead to production and dissemination;
support actions for market development and artistic cooperation.
Who is concerned
You are eligible for this grant if:
you are a professional artist, author, designer and/or performer or a collective of professional artists; and
you actively participate in the artistic life in Luxembourg through your involvement at a local, regional or national level and your cooperation with Luxembourg's cultural institutions and other actors in Luxembourg's cultural scene.
Non-profit associations (ASBL) or other groupings with legal personality are not eligible for this programme.
The grant can be awarded:
for research or for the execution of a well-defined artistic creation project (support in the artistic process, not to be confused with material creation or production); or
