Special Grants for Creative Work
Support for artisans provided by the association De Mains De Maîtres Luxembourg, initiated by Their Royal Highnesses the Hereditary Grand Duke and the Hereditary Grand Duchess, in partnership with the Chamber of Trades and Spuerkeess.
During this very unusual period of a health crisis affecting all professions, De Mains De Maîtres has launched a call for applications to award exceptional grants for creative work. These grants aim to support one or more talented artists or artisans residing in Luxembourg by awarding them a sum intended to assist in their creative work—whether for the purchase of equipment, tools, studio setup, materials, or external services… any means that helps facilitate the production and/or exhibition of their works.
