Programme of Events of the International Artists’ Symposium-Creative Workshops “Sunny Šiauliai”

On 13–18 July, the third international artists’ symposium-creative workshops “Sunny Šiauliai” will take place at Zubovai Palace. This year, artists from Lithuania, Latvia, Poland and Armenia will be inspired by the theme of the 790th anniversary of the city of Šiauliai – the artists will transfer the festive atmosphere and their unique interpretations of the City of the Sun onto canvas. Throughout the week, visitors will be able to observe the painting process up close and interact with the artists.

Symposium participants: Dalia Karatajienė, Algimantas Puipa, Juozas Pranckevičius, Antanas Jasenka, Ilona Janulienė, Edita Utarienė, Ieva Skauronė, Živilė Jasutytė, Vaidė Gaudiešiūtė, Gagik Parsamian, Pharaon Mirzoijan, Sarmite Caune, Inta Klassone, Solvita Spirge-Sene, Aldis Klavinš, Gražina Vingrienė, Birutė Kuicienė, Ričardas Garbačiauskas, Rokas Šakys and Evaldas Jasiūnas.
