Lithuanian Expatriate Art Foundation

Author Echo Gone Wrong

Lithuanian Expatriate Art Foundation was established in 2010. Its purpose is to promote modern society values and ideals while creating a gallery for artwork created by the Lithuanian expatriate artists.

Currently in Lithuania there is no permanent exhibition defining the development of diaspora art. Lithuanian society, especially youth, is still little acquainted with the Lithuanian-born diaspora artists, whose talents and achievements have already been recognized in the world. Although quite a lot of diaspora art is brought into Lithuania (not all of them being the best and most characteristic works of authors), it is only a small part of the whole diaspora artworks. It is very important to bring back more pieces of art to Lithuania, as only then significant part of our national culture will be completely purified and understood.

Conditions for expansion of public horizons and raising of visual art culture awareness should be created – in such a way new opportunities for Lithuanian art interpretations will be opened. The objectives of the programme are to preserve and enhance the cultural heritage of diaspora as a sigh of nation and state continuity, integrating it into the educational, creative industries and cultural tourism projects.
