About the Lysene Foundation

The Lysene Foundation is a start‑up charitable organisation inspired by the micronation known as the Principality of Lys — a creative community rooted in the classical arts, architecture, and beauty of the French Renaissance, Baroque, Beaux‑Arts, and the age of Humanism and Enlightenment.

We believe in a new Renaissance for Europe and the wider world. Our mission is to bring the cultural and community spirit of Lys to life through accessible public programmes, including community events, educational initiatives, exhibitions, publications, artistic opportunities, and more.

You will shape the creative identity of the foundation, oversee the development of visual and artistic materials, and ensure that all programmes, publications, and communications reflect the cultural spirit of Lys. As we grow, you will build and lead a creative department including designers, artists, writers, and content creators.

This is a rare opportunity to define the artistic soul of a cultural foundation at an early stage.

Lead the development of campaigns, visual narratives, and cultural storytelling initiatives.
Build and manage a creative team as the foundation grows.
Ensure all creative work reflects the foundation’s mission, values, and classical aesthetic.
Support innovation while maintaining a strong connection to the artistic heritage that defines Lys.

What We’re Looking For

Experience in creative direction, visual design, art direction, or a related field.
Strong portfolio demonstrating artistic vision and aesthetic sensitivity.
Deep appreciation for classical art, architecture, and cultural heritage.
Ability to develop and maintain a cohesive visual identity.
Excellent communication and leadership skills.
Ability to guide and inspire creative contributors.
Comfortable working in a start‑up environment where systems are built from scratch.
A collaborative, thoughtful, and imaginative approach.

What You’ll Gain

The chance to define the creative identity of a global cultural foundation.
Senior‑level leadership experience within a growing organisation.
The opportunity to shape artistic direction, visual storytelling, and long‑term cultural impact.
A creative, mission‑driven environment where your ideas genuinely matter.
A meaningful role that strengthens your CV and professional profile, with a reference after a minimum of 6 months commitment to our Foundation.

Time Commitment

Approx. 8 hours per month, fully remote, with flexibility around your schedule.
