Our values

What we stand on

Ten principles that shape how we work, who we work with, and why.
  1. 01

    Artistic Freedom

    We respect each person's right to explore ideas, styles and media on their own terms, and we protect space for experimentation and honest expression.

  2. 02

    Equal Opportunities

    Financial circumstances, background or previous experience should not decide who gets to take part in creative and cultural life.

  3. 03

    Inclusion and Respect

    We aim to create environments where every participant feels welcome, safe and treated with dignity.

  4. 04

    Community Participation

    We see local communities as partners in creative work, not only as audiences.

  5. 05

    Responsible Management

    We manage the institution's resources carefully and in line with its stated objectives and applicable Lithuanian law.

  6. 06

    Creativity and Innovation

    We value curiosity, new approaches and the willingness to try something that has not been done before.

  7. 07

    Cooperation

    We believe shared effort between artists, educators and organizations produces more than any of them could alone.

  8. 08

    Cultural Diversity

    We value the many artistic traditions and perspectives that enrich cultural life in Lithuania and beyond.

  9. 09

    Personal Development

    We see creative practice as a path to confidence, communication skills and personal growth.

  10. 10

    Transparency

    We communicate clearly about who we are, what we do and how the organization is managed.
