Exactly one year until the starting shot: the European Capital of Culture Esch2022 will officially open in February 2022. To this end, the southern Luxembourg city of Esch-Alzette has joined  forces with 10 surrounding municipalities in Luxembourg and 8 municipalities in neighboring France, the CCPHVA  (Communauté de Communes Pays Haut Val d'Alzette). 

Esch, European Capital of Culture 2022 for Luxembourg, is looking for a socio-cultural mediator.

After winning “Creative Europe” funding in May, “Kaunas 2022” project “Modernism for the Future 365/360” gains momentum: the received submissions were carefully evaluated and the commission selected artists to participate at local and international residencies.

The national jury, composed of 7 personalities appointed by the Minister of Culture and chaired by Bernard Faivre d'Arcier, met to examine the 29 applications submitted by the municipalities or groupings of municipalities for the award of the label “French Capital of Culture” in 2022.

Born in 1892, Auguste Nicolas Trémont is a Luxembourgian painter and sculptor who specialised in animal sculpture. After studying at the State Artisans School in Luxembourg, he enrolled at the École nationale supérieure des arts décoratifs and the École nationale des Beaux-Arts in Paris.
