LUKAS FREI
I’m an arts manager with a focus on project management, fundraising and communication. Please feel free to contact me for enquiries regarding commissions, workshops and consulting.
Expertise
I have been working as a freelance arts manager since 2008. As I am also a musician myself, I mainly work in the music industry.
I specialize in project and event management, but also take care of fundraising for smaller and larger events. I have many years of experience in applying for public and private funds to finance projects, orchestras, bands, festivals and labels.
I also develop and implement concepts for online and print communication and regularly design CD covers and various printed matter.
