Palangos meno savaitgalis

Palanga Art Weekend is a new contemporary art event in Lithuania’s iconic seaside town. Over five summer days and nights, artists and audiences are invited to engage with the city through exhibitions, performances, music, dances, readings, and gatherings.

 

Set in exceptional locations—including the modernist villa ‘Auska’, the Antanas Mončys Art Museum, the newly opened Palanga Bread Factory, Palanga Summer Reading Room and club ‘Rąžė’—the program explores shifting relationships between leisure, memory, ecology, and coastal transformation.

 

Alongside a central exhibition, performances, and music program in Vila ‘Auska’, the Bread Factory will host KOMISAS, an alternative art fair with over 40 participating artists, as well as performances and nightly music events. At the Palanga Summer Reading Room, visitors will be invited to enjoy film screenings, artist talks, and readings, while walks around Palanga will encourage reflection on local histories and the imagination of possible futures. The program will culminate in a nighttime party at the “Rąžė” club, bringing together artists, locals, and guests for a shared weekend celebration.

 

As Palanga evolves into a contemporary resort, Palanga Art Weekend reimagines the resort as a space of desire, art, and transformation. Through playful and poetic appropriations of leisure culture, the event examines how bodies, landscapes, and identities are shaped by tourism, hedonism, and climate crisis—proposing new imaginaries for living and sensing.
