The philanthropist André-Paul Laixhay passed away

We have just learned of the death of philanthropist André-Paul Laixhay on Thursday, 27 November 2025.

A lawyer by profession, he was very active in promoting the arts, particularly Belgian and European jazz. Among other things, he founded the non-profit organisation JazzAmor, organised jazz festivals in Oupeye, Welkenraedt and Fallais, and finally ArtHome.

ArtHome is none other than his home in Oupeye, which he opened to artists by organising exhibitions and concerts there.

A tribute, which he wanted to be festive, will be paid to him on Saturday 13 December from 1.30 pm to 5.30 pm at the Salle de l'Union in Haccourt (rue Lemaire, 52 - 4684 Oupeye).
