As part of its mission to support the creation and professionalisation of artists, Luxembourg's Ministry of Culture launched a call for applications at the beginning of October for the rental of five artists' studios, located in the annexes of Château de Bourglinster.
Since their inauguration in 2013, the spaces in the annexes of Bourglinster Castle have been managed by the Ministry of Culture. Designed as a crossroads for artistic creation and dissemination, these spaces encourage exchanges and collaborations between artists on more than 860 m2 of creative spaces within the annexes.
From the original thirteen artists applied to take over one of the available creative workshops, five artists were selected. The workshops offer affordable workspaces with a surface area of 20.2 m2 to 41.75 m2 within a historic setting.
The artists were selected by a jury composed of Véronique Kesseler, from the Casino Luxembourg – Forum d'art contemporain, Karine Bouton, from the Abbaye de Neumünster cultural meeting centre, Marc Scozzai, from the Rotondes, Diogo Dos Santos, artist leaving the annexes of the Château de Bourglinster, and Claudine Hemmer, from the department of artistic creation and promotion of the Ministry of Culture.
