Applying for a grant to support artistic creation, training and retraining
Creative and/or interpretive artists, whether professional or not, may obtain a grant to carry out a particular project, internship or specific training activity.
In principle, this grant is not intended to support applicants in the everyday exercise of their art, but rather to finance exceptional projects of a certain length and having links with Luxembourg.
Who is concerned
Creative and/or interpretive artists, whether professional or not, are eligible for such grants.
Grants may be obtained only in order to carry out a precisely defined artistic project (support for artistic creation) with links to Luxembourg, or as support for advanced training and for artistic retraining (undergoing an internship or specific training).
People whose primary activity is the creation of works that are intended or used for purely commercial or advertising purposes, or works that are pornographic, instigate violence or racial hatred, attempt to defend crimes against humanity and, generally, go against public order and proper morals are not eligible for the grant.
Deadlines
Grants must be applied for no later than 2 months prior to:
- the start of the artistic training or retraining course; or
- or the end of the project's creation phase, in the case of a grant to support a creation.
Any application filed after the conclusion of the project, internship or training will be denied.
