Tartle

Lithuanian Art Centre TARTLE located in the Užupis district in Vilnius provides an opportunity to get acquainted with Lithuanian art treasures and historical artefacts from cultural heritage through thematic curatorial exhibitions. The exposition can be visited individually or with a guided tour. The current exhibition “Solely Saints” studies images of saints from the 16th century to the present day. Among them, you will see the works of artists who have perfected their craft over the years, as well as those of our ancestors, the self-taught rural craftsmen who created these figures according to their own beliefs and their individual methods and tools. (curator – Skaidrė Urbonienė, Emilija Vanagaitė).
