Following the completion of the training series “AI in Artistic Practice: Rights, Protection, Opportunities”

The training series “AI in Artistic Practice: Rights, Protection, Opportunities” took place in October-November 2025. In response to the rapidly changing innovations and regulations in generative artificial intelligence (GenAI), the aim was to strengthen the legal and professional awareness of artists so that their work would not only be innovative but also protected. It also looked at various non-creative aspects of GenDI that could help contemporary culture makers in their work routines. To ensure wider accessibility and effectiveness of the training, we are sharing a series of teaching materials.

LIAA presents a new podcast: virtual conversations with three creatives

The Lithuanian Interdisciplinary Artists’ Association (LIAA) presents a series of three conversations with LIAA members Žygimantas Augustinas, Neringa Bumblienė, and Lina Lapelytė on its new podcast. This podcast rethinks the classic “artist talk” format and gives listeners the opportunity to get acquainted with the creatives’ thinking not only through their works, but also by listening to their personal experiences, creative decisions, work routines, doubts, and convictions.

The 2025 LIAA prize winners are Saskia Fischer, Gabija Pernavaitė, and Deividas Vytautas Aukščiūnas.

As every year, in 2025, LIAA organized a competition for the production of new works for its members. The association initiated this competition in 2020 and continues it as a regular annual tradition, recognizing the need for awards for the work of authors who are actively developing their practice.

The LIAA prize of one thousand euros to the artist contributes to the development of members’ creative practices, helps to implement projects under development, organize exhibitions, contributes to the creation of new works, participation in residencies, research, and the promotion of new initiatives, as well as providing additional dissemination opportunities through LIAA channels.

In 2025, the prizes were given to three artists: Saskia Fischer, Deividas Vytautas Aukščiūnas, and Gabija Pernavaitė.
