Luxembourg focus programme
In order to help facilitate scouting of Luxembourgish talent, Kultur | lx helps organisations who want to invite foreign professionals to events and exhibitions. The goal of this scouting is to increase recognition of Luxembourg creatives and productions, facilitate access to the artists, raise awareness, and enhance their impact.
Eligibility
Exclusion and restrictions
Invitations to foreign professionals must be linked to a programme specifically highlighting Luxembourg productions and/or artists.
Professionals’ normal travel as part of their working relationship with a Luxembourg institution are not eligible.
Targeted sectors
All sectors supported by Kultur | lx.
Decision Process
Applications are assessed by the person responsible for the sector in question and the relevant project manager.
Application deadline : 15 business days before the event.
Criteria
- Relevance of the targeted event/project;
- References of the invited/confirmed international professionals;
- Clearly stated goals;
- Quality support in place for the artist(s) in preparing for the event or program;
- A broader program including breakout events with other Luxembourgish-institutions is a plus.
Eligible expenses
- Travel;
- Accommodation.
Rates and conditions for eligible expenses
- Travel
Travel should be by train where possible. Second-class tickets will be reimbursed, as will economy-class plane tickets.
Travel by car will only be covered – at a rate of €0.30 per kilometre plus any applicable tolls – if that is the only possible solution.
- Accommodation
Maximum amount for hotels: €140 per night. That sum might be re-evaluated for certain countries/cities, or if it is impossible to find accommodation at that price.
Amount of the support
The total amount of the support is capped at €3,000. Nevertheless, where justified by the nature or scale of the project, the Coordinators of Kultur | lx reserve the right to exceed that amount on an exceptional basis.
Terms of payment
The support will be paid on submission of settled invoices. A breakdown of the expenses must be submitted on the date specified in the support-award letter. Without the final breakdown of expenses, the Coordinators may block payment of the support.
The award of the funding will be voided if the project in respect of which the funding was awarded does not take place by the deadline that the organisation set at the time when the funding was awarded. The same applies in the event that one of the conditions applicable to the award of the funding is no longer being met, or that the funding was awarded on the basis of inaccurate or incomplete information.
Should the funding be voided, the organisation will be entitled to reimbursement of any payments already made. The organisation may, on an exceptional basis, waive its right to reimbursement upon the submission of a written request setting out the reasons, which must be outside the control of the beneficiary of the funding, why the project did not take place and their direct causal link with the fact that it did not take place.
Mention of Kultur | lx
The beneficiary of the support must include the Kultur | lx logo on its communication materials, with the statement “With the support of Kultur | lx – Arts Council Luxembourg”.
