SUMMARY:Art and Culture Fair
DESCRIPTION:The Art and Culture Fair is back! During the fair, organised on 10–11 April at the Exhibition Hall of the Klaipėda Culture Communication Centre (KCCC), Didžioji Vandens g. 2, artists and representatives of culture and art organisations will be able to present their work, activities or services, while the public will be able to get to know Klaipėda’s art and culture scene more closely and to buy works of art.\nTaking part in the fair will be artists from the city and region of Klaipėda — painters, printmakers, photographers, sculptors, jewellers, interdisciplinary artists and designers — as well as culture and art organisations, institutions and associations: theatres, galleries, museums, creative workshops, independent publishers and creators’ unions. And visitors to the Art and Culture Fair can look forward not only to works of art, activities and services but also to an educational and cultural programme.\nWith the fair we seek to create a space for dialogue between creative work and the city’s community.
