On Thursday 20 November 2025, the organisers of Luxembourg Art Week hosted members of the media, including Chronicle.lu, ahead of the public opening of the eleventh edition of the art festival.

Luxembourg Art Week will take place from Friday 21 to Sunday 23 November 2025 in Glacis Square (Fouerplaatz) in Luxembourg-Limpertsberg. Established as the Grand Duchy's leading contemporary art fair and an important event in the artistic and cultural calendar of Luxembourg and the Greater Region, the 2024 edition attracted 18,000 visitors and featured 77 exhibitors, including international galleries and artists' collectives to the fair's identity blending of quality, conviviality and cross-border dialogue.

Addressing the press ahead of the opening of the 2025 edition, Head of Liaisons for Luxembourg Art Week, Melanie de Jamblinne provided a brief history of the event founded by Alex Hedding and then detailed the specific aspects of this year’s event which features 77 exhibitions from fifteen countries, including 22 new galleries and four galleries from Luxembourg City.

Every other year, Luxembourg Art Week focuses a spotlight on the artistic scene of a foreign city. After highlighting Brussels in 2021 and Vienna in 2023, the 2025 edition will explore Montreal’s vibrant creative scene, with four exhibitors featured. Regarding the choice of Montreal, Melanie de Jamblinne said: “It was born from the meeting with one of the artists who is here, Abdelilah Chigoué, from Chigoué Art Contemporain, who toured Europe to present his gallery in Europe. He met with us and we realised during the discussion that there were already a lot of things that were in place, especially with Culturelix, which is the art council of Luxembourg, along with exchanges with artists, curators, professionals, with Quebec and the city of Montreal. So, we decided to join this existing relationship between Quebec and Luxembourg and to become part of this exchange.”

Melanie de Jamblinne also announced that as part of this year’s event, Luxembourg Art Week has collaborated with Artflow, a French mobile application which allows visitors to access a plan of the art fair on their phone, to see the works and the artists and the galleries that are present, to add favourites and to contact the galleries if you want to ask for information about a work.

Across the duration of the fair, there will be also a series of conferences led by experts on major contemporary art issues as well as a the “Art Walk” which will features a sculpture trail in Luxembourg-Gare, capsule galleries with temporary exhibitions in vacant shop windows, exhibitions in various art galleries and artistic projects, exhibitions and other performances developed in collaboration with the fair’s partners.
