Arts in the State - The State in Arts (Vilnius, 10-11 May 18)

National Gallery of Art, Konstitucijos pr. 22, Vilnius, Lithuania, 10.–11.05.2018

Lina Michelkevice, Vilnius Academy of Art

The Institute of Art Research of Vilnius Academy of Arts invites to the conference "Arts in the State - The State in Arts". It takes place against a background of the Centennial of the restored Lithuania in 2018; yet its scope is not limited to any particular time period or place. It uses the occasion to rethink the conception of the state and the statehood in various eras, and to evaluate the role of arts in the state, their contribution to the development and embodiment of the idea of statehood, and arts’ input into changes of regimes and conceptions of the state.
