What is the Luxembourg Arts & Crafts Prize?

The Luxembourg Arts & Crafts Prize recognizes an ambitious project led by a professional craftsperson or creative practitioner working in Luxembourg.

The Prize is intended for projects that require additional support, an increase in scale or production funding
