On April 24, 2025, the Austrian Ambassador to Latvia, Bernadette Klösch, visited Liepāja and was welcomed at the Liepāja 2027 office by Chair of the Board Inta Šoriņa and Creative Producer Anna Priedola.
We were delighted to host the Ambassador at the Liepāja 2027 office, where we had a warm and inspiring conversation about future collaboration within the European Capital of Culture programme. We are united by shared European values – cultural diversity, mutual understanding, and cross-border cooperation. Encounters like this remind us that culture is not only about art and events, but also about dialogue, bridges, and new opportunities.
Thank you to the Ambassador for her openness and interest! We are open to collaboration with Austrian cultural organisations, artists, and institutions.
To help applicants prepare their project proposals for the cultural tourism competition “Land of (Un)rest, Tell Us Stories!”, the Liepāja 2027 Foundation (Liepāja 2027) invites interested parties to an informative seminar on Monday, 10 November, at 16:00 in the Great Hall of the South Kurzeme Regional Council (Lielā iela 54, Grobiņa).
This week, we were delighted to welcome our colleagues from Bourges 2028 — the European Capital of Culture that will follow Liepāja — for a working visit. Over five inspiring days, we exchanged experiences on cultural accessibility, environmental sustainability, and public participation, while exploring future cooperation between Liepāja 2027 and Bourges 2028.
