The Foundation Sommer is calling for Projects for Artists and Cultural Structures for the Development of Educational Activities as part of a creative art project to encourage the implementation of educational activities as part of an artistic development project in the following fields: performing arts, fine arts, visual arts, music, literature, design, multidisciplinary projects, and architecture.
It is specifically aimed at artists and cultural structures, producers or organizers, who wish, through specific work, to carry out cultural mediation aimed at a young audience between the ages of 3 and 20.
Objectives
Its objectives are:
- to awaken the minds and cultural curiosity of children and young people by allowing them to discover in more detail a specific artistic universe and works,
- to give participants new tools to enable their personal and creative development,
- to actively involve children and young people in the development of a creative art project,
- to develop new skills through mutual learning as an artist/cultural structure on the one hand and as a supervising pedagogical staff on the other.
Funding Information
- The amount of aid is determined according to the requirements and scope of the project and the estimated budget.
- It may not exceed EUR 7,000 per project.
Eligibility Criteria
- The projects must be proposed and implemented by individual artists or by individuals and teams from Luxembourg non-profit organisations.
- Any professional Luxembourg artist or an artist connected to Luxembourg and any organisation whose registered office and activities are based in Luxembourg may apply.
- The following are eligible to submit a project:
- “Artistes intermittents
- Freelance artists
- Companies, groups, ensembles or collectives of artists
- Cultural institutions
- Cultural associations
Note: Whether or not they have come together as a Luxembourg non-profit association.
Selection Criteria
- The selection will be made according to various criteria such as the relevance and originality of the project, suitability with the targeted theme or the technical and financial feasibility of the project.
- The projects must be innovative in nature, allowing children and young people to discover the themes and challenges of the artistic and cultural world.
- They can be held partly “extra muros”, but must in large part allow participants to discover places of creation (artist’s studio, auditorium, museum, etc.).
- The projects should focus more on collaboration, exchange and transmission of know-how than on the preparation of a final product, even if this can be part of the project (show, exhibition, etc.).
- The funded educational projects can be implemented:
- either in the context of creations/works in the process of being developed or planned,
- or around existing or old creations/works, whose pedagogical potential deserves, according to the project leader, to be harnessed today in a precise context;
- In all cases, the educational project must be linked to a specific creation/work.
- Projects with a high potential for long-term impact will be given priority.
