The Latvia-Lithuania-Belarus programme invites you to celebrate the European Cooperation Day next to the beautiful fortress in Daugavpils, Latvia, where the ‘Mark Rothko 2018’ Symposium Exhibition ‘Painting Our Future Together’ will be opened on the 21st of September. Â The event is organised in cooperation with the Daugavpils Mark Rothko Art Centre and Daugavpils City – a project partner in a number of projects funded under both ENPI and ENI CBC Latvia-Lithuania-Belarus Programmes.
During the symposium 10 international artists, selected from more than 100 candidates, will create artworks, reflecting their perception of cooperation across borders. After exhibiting the paintings in the Daugavpils Mark Rothko Art Centre alongside the new Autumn Season exhibitions, the exhibition ‘Painting Our Future Together’ will then travel across Europe visiting Riga (Latvia), Vilnius (Lithuania), Minsk (Belarus) and Brussels (Belgium) and advertising the benefits of the cross-border cooperation to wider public.
During the celebration special attention will be given to young painters, who will have a chance to participate in the workshop lead by the symposium artists, get inspired and create a joint artwork, dedicated to the European Cooperation day.
