A Luxembourg-based foundation recognised as being of public utility, created in 2007, ArcelorMittal Foundation Luxembourg acts in the fields of education, environment, culture & heritage, and social sphere. With AFLAA, it strengthens its role as a committed cultural player by turning industrial sites into open-air canvases for artistic expression.

The
Theme
For this first edition, the chosen theme is
“The Art of Looking Through – Windows to Other Worlds“.
Each selected artist will create a mural on two adjacent surfaces, conceived as open windows to other worlds.
The idea is to turn each wall into a symbolic window to somewhere else. Echoing the architectural surfaces made available, the theme invites artists to transform raw material into a gateway to other dimensions.
Imaginary or real, utopian or personal, thought-provoking or poetic — each artwork becomes a unique perspective on the world.
The
Awards
Twelve artists will be selected to create two murals on buildings owned by ArcelorMittal.
AWARD'S
organisation
