One of the objectives expressed in KEP is to create a legal and operational framework without obstacles and limitations for private sponsoring, that is complementary to public funding. Recommendation No. 62 thus relates to a reform of the law on sponsoring.[1] The National Cultural Fund (FOCUNA), created in 1982, had as its first objective to generate and organize patronage for the benefit of the cultural scene in Luxembourg, leveraging the generosity and enthusiasm of individuals or company leaders for supporting the cultural expansion.[2] The practical guide to cultural patronage / sponsorship published by FOCUNA is intended to provide businesses and... read more →

The Luxembourg State "has put in place a whole range of measures and mechanisms to promote the knowledge society, the preservation of our memory, the support and mobility of artists and creators both nationally and internationally, local support for certain cultural projects and cultural training.”[1] The main support system chosen by the government is an agreement mechanism (“Conventions”). The ministry of Culture has signed agreements with more or less 80 cultural and creative structures, associations, federations etc. that receive a fixed amount of public funding in return for a specific project or, mostly, specific missions to be fulfilled by the... read more →

KEP has put in light several challenges linked to the regional, local and community-driven cultural efforts.[1] According to the municipality code, culture is not one of the obligatory missions of a municipality, resulting in a very unequal cultural and artistic offer across the country. The regional cultural centres and individual municipalities play an important role in the cultural landscape of the country, but the often top-down policies do not always reflect this enough.  Moreover, the financing of the regional and local cultural efforts often does not sufficiently match the actual cultural impact these activities have even on a national scale,... read more →

Until approx. 2014 and "[i]n partnership with CEPS/INSTEAD, the ministry of Culture ha[d] developed and financed the "Cultural practices in Luxembourg" programme, an observation tool aimed at measuring the evolution of the dissemination of different cultural practices and the profile of audiences over time.

It [was] the main instrument for monitoring cultural behaviours in Luxembourg, as well as by means of intermediary surveys on specific aspects and questions relating to culture (reading, music,... read more →

Inclusive and open cultural participation is one of the priorities of the Government’s coalition programme 2018-2023, that also states clearly that culture must be able to be truly shared by all while ensuring to include people who are a priori more distant from culture.[1] Also KEP is very vocal about the cultural participation and consumption, detailing many objectives in that respect, as well as proposing recommendations 47 to 51. Many actions target, directly or indirectly, access to culture on many different levels, be it through specific actions for particular groups (children and young people, senior citizens, peoples with different cultural... read more →

Whereas professional arts and culture education is not extensively developed (see point 5.3.), there is quite an offer in the framework of life-long learning with the ministry of Education’s adult education catalogue.

While the KEP calls to “Consider, develop and further promote non-formal artistic and cultural education” (Recommendation No 43[1]), there are many initiatives that promote arts and cultural engagement and learning out-of-schools, be it by major cultural institutions (Casino’s Scol’Art, MUDAM’s school programme and Mudam Akademie, MNHA’s Luxembourg for Kids, MNHN’s Young Audiences), at the municipal level (e.g. Creativity School) or by associations (e.g. Up Foundation). In the online sphere, eduart.lu is the official web platform for art education in Luxembourg, which “offers the general public, the school public (pupils and teachers) and any other art lover a showcase of all... read more →
