Project and Communications Manager (m/f/div)

In the center of a town in southern Luxembourg, a historically listed Künstlerhaus is being established as a unique destination in the creative tourism sector. In the spirit of the principles of a “sharing economy,” equipment, space, and accommodation are being made available to artists to facilitate their projects, while people interested in art will be provided with an opportunity of entering into direct dialogue with artists. As a result, the building, as a site of both creativity and experiences, is able to combine a distinctive form of accommodation for tourists with an innovative space for artistic creativity.

Experimental, and immersive artistic practices based around VR, AR, MR, and sound, along with participatory and interdisciplinary approaches, will provide an incomparable experience.  Directly interconnected with the town’s civic life, the project’s multifunctional approach breaks down boundaries between people and spaces, art and heritage. At the same time, the project’s objective is to make the surrounding area both more attractive and create sustainable prospects for the town’s residents.

The project is supported by a non-profit association to which the facility’s director as well as representatives from the local community and wider region belong. The facility aims to position itself internationally, setting standards for best practice in immersive creative tourism. The opening is being planned for November 2022.
