About Show

On the 2rd – 13th of June, the Vilnius Academy of Arts (VDA) will hold its fourth annual public Graduate Exhibition, presenting the creative output of its graduating students. 

Over 400 creative projects will be on display across the VDA’s own galleries and public venues in Vilnius, Kaunas, Telšiai, and Klaipėda. The exhibition introduces the next generation of artists, designers, restorers, architects, and art historians, showcasing their innovative ideas and creative solutions.

For many, this event becomes a first serious debut in the professional art field — a milestone that brings public recognition and the attention of professionals and potential employers. Organizers note that early exposure and validation often become a decisive encouragement for a young artist’s continued creative development and career growth.

“Every ending marks a new beginning. The day the doors of the Vilnius Academy of Arts close, others open — to prestigious galleries, museums, leading architecture and design studios, restoration workshops, editorial offices of art journals, and research institutions. There are as many paths as there are graduates of the Academy,”

– says VDA Rector, prof. Ieva Skauronė.
