LUGA a.s.b.l, with the financial support of the City of Luxembourg and the Ministry of Agriculture,Food and Viticulture, offers artists, cultural players, environmentalists, scientists and innovators theopportunity to make unusual landscaped areas their own, to rethink urban space in such a way as toencourage the development of inter- and multidisciplinary dialogue on ecological issues. The exhibition – running from 7 May 2025 to 18 October 2025 – is designed as a time for experimentation and innovation.
During these six months, participants will have the opportunity to test new ideas, explore innovative concepts and develop ambitious projects. This period is conceived as fertile ground for pushing creative boundaries, exchanging knowledge and contributing to the emergence of avant-garde approaches in their respective fields. In short, it’s a dynamic period conducive to research, collaboration and the realization of innovative concepts.
The projects proposed in this call are spread along the banks of the Alzette valley, the Pétrusse valley (from Pont Adolphe to Place St Ulrich), the entire Edouard André municipal park, and around the Dräi Eechelen park, down to Pfaffenthal. In addition to these four specific geographical zones, project developers can propose initiatives that connect two or more of these zones, creating “Multizone” projects.
This invitation represents an exceptional opportunity to participate in an urban transformation initiative, fostering a rich and fruitful exchange between various disciplines, while contributing to the ecological and cultural development of Luxembourg City.
The projects proposed for the LUGA exhibition must integrate harmoniously into their environment, interacting with heritage, urban gardens and landscape and art installations. They must also meet the objectives of the LUGA program:
The LUGA helps us rediscover the fascination of our analogue world. Visitors will be encouraged to help preserve the environment by enjoying the pleasures of outdoor activities and the beauty of their city’s green spaces.
Project leaders are encouraged to use recycled and/or recyclable materials, operating with a thorough understanding of the limits of the world’s resources and the problems associated with over-consumption.
