The largest contemporary art centre in the Baltic coun-tries, the CAC stimulates the development of modern Lithuanian art and integration into the global context, presents new modern art trends to society, initiates new projects, and hosts travelling exhibitions.

This modernist building hosts the latest and most relevant art and retrospective exhibitions of art, music, dance, fashion, animation and cinema of the 20th and 21st centuries. It is also home to the fluxus office of Mačiūnas, a cinema that devotes itself to the search of new types of self-expression in the medium, and an open informal reading room. Recently, the International Art Triennial of the Baltic countries, an event uniting contemporary creators from the Baltic countries, was hosted here. Each day of the event saw over 50,000 people visit the Contemporary Art Centre.

The centre remains a special attraction, with new ideas from artists, curators and other partic-ipants of the process in the contemporary art world conceived and embodied here
