From 3 to 5 April, Liepāja 2027 visited Chemnitz, Germany, to celebrate the 40th anniversary of the European Capital of Culture programme together with representatives from 56 current, former and candidate Capitals of Culture.
This seminar is designed for municipalities, cultural organizations, and civil society representatives interested in learning about EU programs “Citizens, Equality, Rights and Values” (CERV) and “Creative Europe” (RE) and their funding opportunities for social and cultural projects.
The exhibition will run until the end of May, gathering a selection of established and emerging artists from Liepāja and Latvia, who will reflect on pressing contemporary issues while spotlighting the potential of unconventional venues in the city as platforms for contemporary art.
The first round of the “Liepāja 2027” Community Programme has wrapped up, bringing support to 12 different projects. Launched in collaboration with Foundation “Fonds Initium” and backed by the Ministry of Culture and the British Council Representation in Latvia.
At the end of March, Liepāja 2027’s amazing volunteers are taking part in an unprecedented and widely resonant event in Liepāja—warmly welcoming visitors to the Great Amber Concert Hall, where the Academy Award (“Oscar”) and other prestigious accolades won by the film Straume are on display for everyone to see up close.
