Vilnius Gallery Weekend is an annual art festival that unites various art spaces in Vilnius and invites the public to embark on a journey of art experience. This year the event, which is being held for the seventh time, will present to the public a broad panorama of the capital’s contemporary art. This time, the theme of empathy was chosen as the main conceptual axis.

Can artistic creation be considered as an expression of empathy? In order to understand the work of art, is it necessary to empathise with the worldview of the artist? Common contemporary artistic practices reflect on the themes of communion, attachment, and social inclusion. The meeting of different individuals or social groups around a work helps not only to develop artistic competences, to relax, but also to get to know each other, to foster diversity, to untangle knots of thoughts.

On September 8-11, Vilnius gallery weekend will draw a map of empathy, inviting you to hear, see, understand and tell. More than 30 art spaces will be devoted to the theme of empathy, where visitors will not only be able to view new exhibitions, but also participate in discussions, creative workshops, guided tours, meet the artists themselves and cultivate the ability to hear others.
