Continuing the “Liepāja Blossoms!” initiative dedicated to the city’s 400th anniversary, a Plant Exchange event will take place on Thursday, May 1, from 9:00 to 13:00 at Rose Square.

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.

The foundation “Liepāja 2027” invites to apply for its Volunteer Programme. This initiative will continue until the end of 2027.

The project will be a collaboration between a local artist and an international artist selected through an open call.

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.

This year, Liepāja 2027 highlights two special light installations:”Berči NeMiers” at the Old Cemetery and “Layers of Multitasking” in the courtyard at Teātra iela 3

This evening, on March 18, thousands of Liepāja residents gathered in the square by the Concert Hall “Great Amber” to celebrate the city’s 400th anniversary, experiencing the grand festive concert “Personal Code: Liepāja”!
