The Bridderhaus art centre was built in 1873 as the first hospital in the city of Esch-sur-Alzette. Open to all contemporary artistic disciplines, the Bridderhaus is primarily a place that is dedicated to artists. It is also a place that is open to the public for encounters, performances, conferences and exhibitions. 8 residency studios including bedroom, work space, independent workshops, modular exhibition spaces and shared spaces have been laid out in the unique setting of a former hospital where the original architecture has been preserved.

Ideally located in the heart of the capital, Casino Luxembourg – Forum d’art contemporain, founded in 1996, holds contemporary art exhibitions with an international programme of mainly younger-generation artists. Casino Display is a place of work, of research, of exchanges and orientation, with the aim of encouraging and supporting young creatives. Also, we host artists for 2 to 5-month-long artist residencies. It is part of the natural evolution and continuous development of the residency programme that Casino Luxembourg has pursued since 2010. The residency at Casino Display is primarily intended as a time of research and dialogue. The outcome of the residency can be an exhibition, but in essence, no finished results are obligatory.
Due to the multidisciplinary nature of neimënster, we offer residencies in a wide range of disciplines: visual arts, dance, composition, literature, performing arts and music. The main criteria for the selection of artists are the originality of the project as well as its innovative and socially engaged character. According to the artistic discipline and the form of the residency, the latter will take place on a time scale from one week up to six months. The artistic projects realised during the residencies will figure as exhibitions or performances in our program. During the residency, we also guarantee encounters in different contexts between the artist and the public as well as professionals, in order to allow them to peek into the creative process of the artist.
