NOASS is preparing for 15th season

 

This year Culture and Arts project NOASS marks the fifteenth year of existence.  In the new season NOASS have made special program for all Summer.

15th Anniversary year will start in the end of May with Trans Europe Halles (TEH), Independent Culture Centers meeting in Riga. TEH meeting in Riga will bring together more than 150 participants from 50 Cultural centers across the Europe. The reason of TEH meetings is to learn, share experiences, establish new contacts and develop cultural projects and initiatives. The meeting highlights city and also the country where it takes place, marking it in culture map as intersection of important ideas. That’s why NOASS have prepared a special event program, which will give participants opportunity to get acquainted with Riga as a city which is opened to contemporary culture developments. Besides, TEH 30 anniversary celebration party will take place in Riga!

Continuing the season an open-air cinema project “Film Island” will take place on AB Dam. During this project bright and attractive video programs from around the world will be shown to open-air screens.

14. – 17. June NOASS will become a home for contemporary dance festival “Time to Dance”, which is organized by the Latvian Professional Contemporary Dance Choreographers Association.

In 15^th season also the location of Latvian Naive Art Museum has changed. From June 2013 museum will be moved to floating art gallery BETANOVUSS (AB Dam 2, LV-1048, Riga). Museum will continue to show naive art works in contemporary art context. Visitors are welcome free of charge.

NOASS is still successfully participating in program “Artists in residence”. We are continuing to introduce the inhabitants of Riga with artists from other countries and their work, and in turn provide artists with the chance to discover Riga as a city of diverse contrasts by presenting the residency as an opportunity to get inspired.

See you there!
