LEAP25

The Konschthal has launched the 5th edition of LEAP - The Luxembourg Encouragement for Artists Prize, created in 2016 and awarded every two years to a contemporary artist or group of artists. Four finalists were selected by an international jury from the entries submitted in response to the call for entries in December 2024. A group exhibition of the same name will be held at the Konschthal from 29 March to 27 April 2025. The winner's prize will be awarded at the vernissage on Friday 28 March 2025.

The LEAP Prize is designed to support artists from all disciplines in the visual arts whose talent and vision have recently stood out and who are ready to take their work to the next level. As well as rewarding them for their work, the prize aims to raise the profile of the winning artists and establish them in the contemporary art world over the long term.

For the first time, the four shortlisted finalists will benefit from a residency in the run-up to the exhibition: Mike Bourscheid, Rozafa Elshan, Jil Lahr and Lynn Scheidweiler will be hosted at the Bridderhaus for a month before the exhibition at the Konschthal. This residency offers them an environment conducive to creation as well as financial and logistical support to develop their artistic projects in preparation for their exhibition.
