Network grant: IETM (call closed)

Kultur | lx wishes to promote the internationalisation of Luxembourgish artists’ profiles and careers. This grant covers the membership in the IETM network and the expenses arising from the participation in its events over a period of three years.

The IETM International Network for Contemporary Performing Arts is a network representing over 500 organisations and individual professionals, from independent artists to public cultural agencies, theatres and festivals, working in the performing arts industry in all disciplines around the world. The IETM holds two plenary meetings a year in European cities, which include conferences and debates, pitching and networking sessions, and an artistic programme. It also holds smaller meetings around the world on specific themes or geographical areas. Participating in the IETM is an opportunity for performing arts professionals to develop international contacts and deepen their understanding of the challenges facing the industry.
