From December 3 to 12, the CreArt Contemporary Art in Schools project continued at Liepāja Piemares Primary School. During the workshops led by artist Maija Demitere, students gained hands-on experience in photography, digital image editing, and printing techniques.
They learned how to digitally process photographs, create compositions using graphic elements, and combine them with manual printing methods to produce works on canvas. The sessions were designed to develop students’ visual thinking, encourage experimentation with different materials and technologies, and support the exploration of their own visual expression.
The CreArt Contemporary Art in Schools project in Liepāja will continue in 2026, inviting artists from various disciplines to work with local schools each semester. In total, six schools participate in the program each calendar year.
CreArt Contemporary Art in Schools is one of the activities of the Creative Europe project CreArt 3.0. The Liepāja 2027 Foundation is a partner in the project.
On 11 April, Liepāja 2027 will take to the stage at Tallinn Music Week 2026’s City Stage to present the concept of Liepāja – European Capital of Culture 2027: (un)rest.
With this open call for artists to participate in the exhibition and symposium, the association “ASTE. Art, Science, Technology, Education” launches the project “ElektrON – The Future of Amber”, interpreting the heritage of amber—along with the future potential of other fossil materials—through a symbiosis of art and science, within the programme “Liepāja – European Capital of Culture 2027”. Applications to participate in the project can be submitted by 23:59 on 19 April.
