Luxembourg Art Week: A Deep Dive into Contemporary Art

“I didn’t expect to discover such a vibrant art scene when I arrived in Luxembourg.”

This is often the feeling one gets when visiting Luxembourg Art Week, which today represents much more than just a contemporary art fair. Since its inception in 2015, this event has established itself as a must-attend event for art lovers, expats, collectors, and professionals wishing to discover Luxembourg’s cultural richness.

Today, Luxembourg Art Week is a pillar of Luxembourg’s cultural life, supported by the Ministry of Culture and the City of Luxembourg.

A unique artistic experience in Luxembourg

“As soon as I arrived on site, I was struck by the diversity of the works and the audiences.”

Created by the Luxembourg Agency for Cultural Action, the Cercle Artistique de Luxembourg, and ArtContemporain.lu, Luxembourg Art Week brings together international galleries, emerging artists, and established talents every year.

On-site, the experience is complete:
