Kultur | lx – Arts Council Luxembourg, is offering, for the first time, a “Portfolio grant”, set up to raise awareness of an artist’s work within the sector and among the public, and to foster knowledge of different artistic practices. The format chosen by the artist must be suited to the way in which they work and may take the form of a paper publication or digital format

Following a call for applications, two selection committees composed of Christian Mosar (Konschthal Esch), Ruud Priem (MNHA), Marc Scozzai (Rotondes), and Julie Wagener (AAPL) for the visual arts and for the performing arts Anne Legill (Théâtres de la Ville de Luxembourg), Stéphane Ghislain Roussel (Projeten), Laura Graser (Rotondes), Maxime Bender (Trifolion), Coraline Garnero (TROIS C-L) and Tammy Reichling (Maskénada), unanimously decided to award three grants to the projects of Anne-Mareike Hess, Vera Kox and Eric Schumacher.

The publication will call on external contributions, both for the perspective of the work and for its formatting.
