Luxembourg Art Week 2025
From 21 to 23 November 2025, Luxembourg Art Week, an unmissable event for art enthusiasts and professionals, is set to attract around 18,000 visitors eager to discover nearly 80 contemporary art galleries, cultural institutions and national and international artist collectives. Read on to find out why you definitely don't want to miss this celebration of art!
Two complementary sections to explore
Luxembourg Art Week is the leading international contemporary art fair in Luxembourg. The event takes place on the Glacis square, just a short walk from the city centre. In a vast temporary exhibition space spread over more than 5,000m2, you can explore the work of 77 exhibitors from 15 countries and four continents, in an informal and relaxed atmosphere.
For the second time, there will be late-evening opening on Friday 21 November, giving visitors a chance to make the most of the festivities.
The fair is divided into two sections:
- Main Section: 50 established regional and international galleries.
- Take Off: 18 young galleries, artists, institutions, associations and collectives present their artworks at accessible prices, using the Art Week as a showcase to broaden their visibility.
An extensive cultural programme
From 15 October to 23 November, for the third year in a row, Luxembourg Art Week will be offering an Art Walk: an artistic route through the city streets, taking in sculptures, Capsules projects and other collaborative works. There are ten sculptures to discover on the route between the city centre and the station district. Visitors can explore them at their own pace by scanning the QR codes at the base of each work or using the Art Walk map.
The Capsules initiative transforms vacant shop windows, façades and office spaces into an art trail visible day and night from the street. Artists install their works in the spaces, turning them into open exhibition areas.
For the 2025 edition, Luxembourg Art Week issued a call for proposals for Capsules that attracted more than 600 applications, not just from Europe but from around the world – a clear sign of the resonance of Capsules and the growing interest in the initiative.
The Opening Night will be held at Casino Luxembourg – Forum d'art contemporain on 21 November, after the late-evening opening, with a focus on performance and music. "Athletes of the Heart" (Antonin Artaud) shines a light on artists for whom performance is a feat of endurance that engages their entire being, transforming the night into a moment of pulsating, powerful intensity.
The Young Luxembourgish Artists Vol.5 exhibition, held in the Galerie Indépendanceby BIL, presents the work of nine young Luxembourgish artists transitioning from academia to the professional art world. Each work explores personal ideas, with formats ranging from painting to video and installations. This dynamic showcase for the next-generation art scene, which radiates energy, discovery and freedom, is open from 12 November 2025 to 23 January 2026.
The Art Talks explore topical ideas and debates in contemporary creation. In partnership with renowned cultural institutions, international speakers discuss a wide variety of subjects. The Art Talk Rewind podcast, launched in June 2025, takes a deeper dive into these topics outside the setting of Art Week.
This programme is only a glimpse of all that is on offer during Luxembourg Art Week. The full programme is available on the official website.
A new approach to collecting
Are you an art collector, or looking to become one? Two new features will be of interest to you this year:
- Artflo: a user-friendly app containing an interactive map, recommended works, favourites and information on how to contact the galleries.
- Collecting 101: a dedicated selection of works available for less than 4,000 euros, easily identifiable with a special sticker. This is a great way to get started with art collecting.
An immersive artistic café
The café space this year is home to Café Celeste, run by the artist duo Celeste, composed of María Fernanda Camarena and Gabriel Rosas Alemán. Their collaborative practice, developed through ongoing dialogue, creates pictorial and sculptural forms that blend interiority with openness to the world. For this space devoid of picture rails, the duo have designed an immersive environment partway between wall painting and portable structure, with subtle geometries and chromatic rhythms drawing on celestial bodies and archetypal architectures. Their vision has created a café that is a vibrant and welcoming space, conducive to discussion and new artistic experiences.
Practical information:
There is an entry fee for adults. Students and young people aged 12 to 18 benefit from a reduced rate. The event is free for children up to the age of 12 if they are accompanied by an adult with an entry ticket. Tickets are available online.
