This week, the winners of the Nordic Council of Ministers-funded Artist Residencies took part in an intensive two-day Cultural Programme at the International Translators’ Writers Centre. During the visit, the residents visited the Pranas Dom\u0161aitis Gallery, the Curonian Spit History Museum, the Preila Library, and took part in excursions to the Klaip\u0117da Cultural Communication Centre and the Neringa Victoras Mili\u016bnas Public Library. They got a closer look at the Klaip\u0117da County Ievos Simonaityt\u0117 Public Library, and discussed creativity and the importance of international cooperation in its American Reading Room.<\/p>\n
During the programme, the residents met with the Director of the Library, Dr. L. Juchnevi\u010d, and the Head of the International Centre for Translators and Writers, Ms. I. Lastauskaite, got to know the staff and artists of the Klaip\u0117da region’s cultural field, shared experiences and exchanged ideas!<\/p>\n
We would like to thank our friends – Klaip\u0117da Culture Communication Centre, Pranas Dom\u0161aitis Gallery, Neringa Municipality Viktoras Mili\u016bnas Public Library, Neringa Museums for their help and cooperation!<\/p>\n
The successful development of the Artist Residencies project contributes to multilateral cultural and cognitive exchanges, and provides an opportunity for international cooperation between artists and their residency organisations.<\/p>\n
