Liepāja 2027 Foundation has published the results of a comprehensive study conducted on demand by the Latvian Academy of Culture, shedding light on cultural accessibility and development in Liepāja, South Kurzeme, and Kuldīga — collectively described as the Land of (un)rest.
On 30 April, the foundation Liepāja 2027 launched its contemporary art exhibition “Concerns. Crazy Days” at Liepāja’s Peter’s Market, setting the tone with a performance that caught many visitors by surprise.
On May 4 at 12:00, in the spirit of the Day of Restoration of Independence of the Republic of Latvia, the Ziemupe Breakfast and the Opening of the Song Chest will take place in the centre of Ziemupe.
On Friday, May 2, from 13:00 to 17:00, Aizpute’s historical centre on Jāņa Street will come alive with the very first Old Town Festival. This new tradition embraces sustainable living and invites both local residents and visitors from nearby areas to take part in a vibrant and engaging celebration.
The Liepāja 2027 Foundation is currently seeking several professionals to join its team as it advances the European Capital of Culture programme, thus announcing new job openings, inviting applications for the positions of Project Manager, International Relations Project Manager, Administrator/Clerk, and Monitoring and Evaluation Coordinator.
At the end of April, Liepāja2027 Artistic Director and Board Member Baiba Bartkeviča visited Molenbeek, Belgium, where she has been invited to join the international forum European Spring Ateliers as one of the recognised experts in the European cultural field.
