CreArt Kaunas and Kaunas Artists’ House announce an open call for land/environmental art creators and invite them to create land/environmental art installations in public spaces along the river Nemunas in Kaunas. The artworks must be made of natural, biodegradable materials and integrate harmoniously into the local context and landscape.

  
The created works will be presented on 24 May 2025 during the festival ‘Let’s Celebrate the River!’, which is part of the CreArt 3.0 programme’s ‘European Month of Creativity’.

  
The River and Land Art is a small-scale plein-air event taking place from 10 to 24 May 2025, as an introductory part of the festival ‘Let’s Celebrate the River!’. The festival is a community-based cultural initiative born during the period of Kaunas – European Capital of Culture 2022\. Its goal is to encourage the city’s inhabitants to reconnect with Lithuania’s major rivers flowing through the city, to open them up for cultural events and community meetings, and to jointly search for the signs and expressions of the identity of the local communities that are located along the rivers.
