Kaunas Biennial - Kauno Bienalė

Kaunas Biennial

Kaunas Biennial is the largest, longest lasting, most significant and most visited contemporary art festival in Lithuania and the Baltic states.

Kaunas Biennial stands out not only for the variety of art presented, but also for its institutional independence.

Our organization is open to opportunities of self-realisation and personal development.

WE:

  • adapt to the changing world through creative thinking, creating life-long learning and inspiring experiences;
  • tolerate the differences of opinions while keeping the integrity and respecting the human rights;
  • aim to create & foster close relationships between the team members, partners, audiences, communities, etc.;
  • aim to provide an opportunity to get inspired for everyone;
  • take Responsibility of Freedom and we create Safe Space for expression;
  • take responsibility to reflect what is relevant to our audience;
  • ensure continuity in sustainable development;
  • aim to provide opportunities for those parts of society, who have no possibilities to reach art;
  • seek to remain fair to yourself and others.
