Arts Council Luxembourg pilot grant for music managers

Kultur | lx – Arts Council Luxembourg is calling for applications from Luxembourg-based artist managers in the field of music for their pilot grant programme.

This pilot has been designed as a two-year grant and offers managers the chance to increase the depth of their professional network and development while aiding them in their pursuit to work more closely with Luxembourgish artists locally and abroad.

One of the aims of this grant is to allow managers to build dedicated relationships with the artists in order to further develop their careers.

Kultur | lx has built a mentoring programme with international professionals who will be able to guide the laureates throughout the various stages of this grant. Mentors will come from a variety of backgrounds and countries, specifically within the management sector, and will be available for bi-monthly consultations with the laureates.

In addition, the two laureates will automatically be included in any local or international Kultur | lx training initiatives (educational, workshops, networking events, etc.).
