Marking the 150th anniversary of M. K. Čiurlionis' birth, various initiatives are being carried out in Lithuania and abroad to honor the legacy of this extraordinary artist. It is an opportunity not only to pay tribute to Čiurlionis and his art but also to discover the magic of his creativity in unexpected places.

❯ Art at the Airport – the First Encounter with Čiurlionis' World

The Vilnius International Airport has been temporarily renamed after M. K. Čiurlionis for a period of five years. Passengers are invited to explore the artist's work through art installations, exhibitions, and informational displays. The airport becomes a gateway to Čiurlionis' world—a call to embark on a journey through the horizons of his creativity, filled with mysterious visions and sounds.

❯ Living Art in Nature

Čiurlionis' name will also enrich the natural world. A newly developed peony variety will be named in his honor, symbolizing the beauty, subtlety, and timelessness of his art. Additionally, across various locations in Lithuania, new and restored sculptural compositions, dedicated to Čiurlionis and inspired by his life, creative motifs, and artistic visions, will bring the spirit of his work into the landscape.

❯ Culture Within Everyone's Reach

A wide range of events, activities, and creative projects will allow both young and old to get acquainted with Čiurlionis' art. As part of the anniversary celebrations, city streets were adorned with artistic elements, and the pathways of Vingis Park were named after Čiurlionis' artworks—creating a symbolic invitation to immerse oneself in the artist's world. Interactive exhibits will continue to invite visitors to experience his works in innovative and engaging formats as if stepping into his artistic universe.

These initiatives serve as a bridge between the past and the present, between the artist's world and our everyday lives. It is an invitation for everyone to take a step into Čiurlionis' mysterious, inspiring world of art.
