Liepāja 2027 warmly invites everyone to join the Europe Day Garden Festival “A European Dream in Our Backyard” on Friday, 9 May, designed to give residents of the (un)rest land a chance to explore European values, discuss cultural and social development, and get actively involved in greening their towns.
At the beginning of April Liepāja 2027 participated in the 11th Latvian Events Forum, where Zita Lazdāne, Head of Public Relations and Marketing, shared insights on unified communication and its importance for the city’s identity.
On April 8, the Chamber Hall of the Great Amber Concert Hall in Liepāja hosted a special concert uniting two European Capitals of Culture – Liepāja 2027 and Tartu 2024. Young musicians from Karosta Music School (Liepāja) and Tartu Valla Music School came together to offer a musical tribute to Liepāja, continuing the city’s 400th anniversary celebrations.
Students from the Liepāja Karosta Music School and Tartu Valla Muusikakool worked with renowned folk music and improvisation artist Julgī Stalte, preparing for the upcoming concert “Cheers to Liepāja! Young Musicians from Tartu and Liepāja Unite in a Musical Tribute for Liepāja 400”.
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.
