Gallery Weekends in cities around Europe and the world are happening for already more than few decades and mark first exhibitions in the galleries after summer and the opening of new art season in the city. In this format Lithuania experiences it for the first time. Galleries with the new exhibitions open at the same time inviting city residents to form temporary communities for experiencing not only exhibitions, but also meeting artists and getting to know the city better. Galleries are places marking respiration and blood flow of the city, emerging earlier than specific district or quarter fall into the eyes of the city residents. Or vice versa they mark historic development of some districts or buildings. Also they embody metabolism of new ideas and social connections, especially when during the openings city residents and guests from different backgrounds gather not only to look at art, but also exchange news and impressions.

Initiator of gallery weekend Vytautas Michelkevičius
