Quadrennial 2014 – art on a flagpole

It is the third time that local Lithuanian artists and contemporary art aficionados as well as those from abroad have united under the slogan and symbol – Q14 – of the quadrennial. This year the slogan of the event which the Lithuanian Artists’ Association organizes every four years is “Art on a flag pole.” The Lithuanian tricolor has always been a symbol of unity, belief and inspiration for responsible and civically engaged Lithuanians. But this time we raise a new flag – that of contemporary art.

 

Quadrennial 2014 invites people not only to visit the capital’s galleries, but also to think and simply enjoy art in the streets, and even on their computers. A selection of original art created by members of the Lithuanian Artists’ Association and other professional artists, as well as from the funds of the Lithuanian Expatriate Art Foundation and the Lewben Art Foundation, will be exhibited at the Artillery Bastion of Vilnius Defensive Wall (Bokšto St. 20/18), which is part of the National Museum of Lithuania.

 

The main events:

• the opening of the first exhibition on 5th November at 6 p.m. at the Artillery Bastion of Vilnius Defensive Wall (Bokšto str. 20/18);
• the opening of the second part of the exhibition on 6th November at 6 p.m. at the gallery ARKA (Aušros vartų str. 7);
• the opening of the third part of the exhibition on 12th November at 6 p.m. at Lithuania's Artist's Association gallery (Vokiečių str. 2).
