The plein air continues the Lithuanian tradition included in the UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage list, which can only be preserved in one way – by passing knowledge directly from the master to the apprentice.
On Thursday–Friday from 4 to 6 p.m., everyone is invited to the Žulkai workshops (Druskininkų St. 17, Palanga) – you can watch the work process, talk to the masters, and see up close how a sacred object is born.
“Every work born here is not only a work of art but also proof that the tradition is alive. Seeing how the apprentices boldly take on their first works, I feel great hope,” says the project manager Liudas Andrikis.

The works created after the plein air will be exhibited in the “Energija” gallery in Klaipėda along with educational programs for schoolchildren, and later will enrich the Lithuanian landscape. The project is funded by the Lithuanian Council for Culture, partner – the association “Žulkų kūrybinės dirbtuvės-galerija”.
