How much is it worth? Artists talk about values and sense of the world.

From 7 November to 28 December, the Bulduri Exhibition House will host the competition exhibition "How Much Is It Worth?". Visitors will have the opportunity to see the works of 27 artists, selected from 92 applications. The aim of the exhibition is to encourage artists to create new and socially significant works, while supporting their creative activity and promoting Jūrmala as an active cultural environment.

The selected artists include both experienced artists and students of art high schools and universities. The jury - art historian Baiba Guste, art historian Guntars Gritāns and painter Madara Neikena - evaluated the submitted works. The selected artworks represent different genres of visual art, and use a wide range of techniques and materials - glass, slate and felt will be used alongside traditional materials.

This exhibition is a tribute to the 130th anniversary of the first production of Aspazija's play "Vaidelote". The exhibition is a different and multi-layered insight into the experience of women, seeking answers to the eternal questions of identity, freedom, self-realisation, the role of women in society and feminine culture as an alternative to the patriarchal system.

The exhibition is open until January 27. Exhibition hall opening hours are Monday to Friday 13:00 - 18:00, Saturday 12:00 - 18:00.

Jūrmala Museum presents the exhibition "Jūrmala in paintings and graphics. From history".

The purpose of the exhibition is to offer the viewer works of art, the main thematic attraction of which is Jurmala. A small part of the exhibition is dedicated to children's recreation in the summer - children's drawings, toys, documents and photographs from museums and private collections are collected. The exhibition covers a period of almost 50 years, starting from the coastal landscape of Vilhelms Purvītis, created in 1912 in the tradition of impressionism, to the small-format sketches of Voldemārs Caune, created in the 1960s.

Previously, the exhibition could be seen in the Fireplace Hall of the Jurmala Museum, but now, in a renewed appearance, it has been moved to the second floor of the museum and will delight viewers until the end of the year.

The exhibition was created in cooperation with Tukuma Art Museum, Romans Suta and Aleksandra Beļtsova Museum, G. Elias Jelgava Museum of History and Art, LU Academic Library, Zuzāni Art Collection, Jēkabs Art Gallery and private collectors.

Working hours of Jurmala Museum: P.O. – Closed, T.-Sv. 10.00 - 18.00

Ansis Artums (1908-1997) - a painter from Tukums, a virtuosic capturer of the beauty of Latvian nature during the changing seasons and the glory of simple flowers, one of the most recognisable and brilliant masters of Latvian landscape and quiet nature.  An artist who was led by the joy of painting itself, "the beauty of painting".

He has rightly been called the director of nature - he has sensitively and skillfully adjusted the motifs of nature, creating his own "golden cut" for the view captured on canvas. At times the director's approach has manifested itself in a natural simplicity, at times even a certain eccentricity in the choice of colours, although the overall impression has always been harmonious.

On 23 November 2024 at 18.00, the first exhibition "The Pit" by the young artists Patrīcija Krūmiņa and Marija Slaidiņa, students of the Visual Communication Department of the Art Academy of Latvia, will be opened at the Rainis and Aspazija Summer House.The exhibition can be viewed until 8 February 2025.

The audiovisual exhibition explores the concept of the pit not only as a physical, deep and dark place, but also as a condition, process and possibility. "The Pit'' you will discover the artists' vision of a symbol that was also important to Rainis, and perhaps it will allow the audience to think about it too.

Swedish photographer Lars Thunbjörk (1956–2015) photographed the world around him in a distinctly personal style. Having started his career as a photojournalist for a local newspaper in his hometown of Buros in the 1970s, he soon became a prominent freelance photographer. Around 1990, his handwriting became stronger: bright colors, drastic humor and the kind of everyday depiction that borders on the strange and surreal.

Lars Thunbjörk finds many of the subjects of his photographs in the periphery, in places such as discount stores, highways, parking lots and camper parks. Often the people he met and portrayed look a bit awkward and lost. At first glance, Lars Thunbjörk's photographs may seem ironic or even cynical, but they are based on empathy and identification with the characters of the images.

The exhibition at the Art Station "Dubulti" marks Lars Tūnbjærk's long relationship with Latvia. Latvian Museum of Photography in Riga presented his personal exhibition already in 1997. Lars Tūnbjörks visited Latvia several times and became friends with Latvian colleagues, including Inta Rukas and Andrejs Grants. Lars Thunbjörk visited both the cities and the countryside.

The exhibition has three parts: Latvia (1996), I love Borås! (1988–1995) and The Office (1994–1999). Viewed together, these three series of photographs - all from roughly the same era - reflect Lars Thünbjörk's unique style of photography and emphasize the emotional impact of his images.

The curators of the exhibition are Inga Šteimane, Love Jonsons and Moda Nikandere.

Dubulti Art Station is the only professional exhibition hall in Europe located in a functioning railway station. It has been operating since 2015 and gives a new dimension to the 20th century. For a modernist architectural building of the 1970s. Art station Dubulti creates personal exhibitions of the best Latvian artists and international projects, emphasizing the dialogue between the work of art and the viewer. Art scientist Inga Šteimane is the founder and manager of Dubulti art station.

The exhibition is supported by the Jūrmala State City Administration and the State Culture Capital Fund, the Swedish Embassy, ​​the Swedish-Latvian Cooperation Fund, the Lars Tūnbjerk Foundation, the Tore G Wärenstam Foundation and Fabriken Bästekille.

The exhibition is open every day until January 26 from 9.00 until 17.30.
