Jūrmala Museum (Tirgoņu Street 29, Majori)

• “Prime Mover: Primum Mobile” (10.01.–23.02.) – An exhibition by painter Dags Vidulejs, inspired by Dante Alighieri's Divine Comedy. The artist depicts the journey from despair to the revelation of truth, based on the experiences of Love, Faith, and Hope.

• “The Hedonists' Duet” (10.01.–23.02.) – An exhibition featuring the works of painter Tatjana Krivenkova and porcelain artist Jekaterina Sazonova. The interplay between painting and porcelain merges color and form in harmony, inviting inner peace and aesthetic lightness. Sazonova’s porcelain forms, crafted with sculptural precision, are complemented by Krivenkova’s delicate painting, creating a polyphonic artistic experience.

• “1 + 1 + 1 = 1” (until 18.05.) – An exhibition on Jurmala’s history and its three former towns – Sloka, Ķemeri, and Rīgas Jūrmala. This display, dedicated to Jurmala's 65th anniversary, combines residents' memories and historical artifacts.

^{Kristīne Kligina. Time, 2022}

Aspazija’s House (Z. Meierovica Prospekts 18-20, Dubulti)

• “Edge of Oblivion” (Aizmirstības mala) (24.01. – 08.03.) – The works in Kristīne Kligina’s solo exhibition are created in muted earth tones to avoid associations with commonly accepted color interpretations, allowing the viewer to interpret the works based on their own experience and perspective. The exhibition conveys a message about the vanishing values of a fading era – simple and beautiful moments, the cyclical processes of nature, the effects of time, presence, and being here and now.

^{Jūlija Eresko. The Eternal Life of the Moon, 2022}

Bulduri Exhibition Hall (Muižas Street 6, Bulduri)

• “SOS. Life Matters” (07.01.–01.03) – An exhibition where artist Jūlija Eresko’s oil and acrylic paintings interact with Jānis Straume-Broliša’s neon light installations. Glass tubes and light effects create a mysterious space between light and darkness, encouraging reflection on the value of life and the fragility of humanity in today's world.

• A chance to explore the art legend of Jūrmala – the studio and creative world of the outstanding Latvian landscape painter Valdis Bušs (1924–2014).

Vitālijs Jermolajevs’ Painting Theatre “Inner Light” (Omnibusa Street 19, Majori)

New Environmental Object in Kauguri Square

In addition to the diverse exhibitions in the halls, visitors are invited to discover a newly created piece of urban art in Kauguri Square – the environmental object “Mezgls” (Knot) by Uģis Traumanis (realized by SIA MetalProjekts and DJA – Didzis Jaunzems Architecture). The object symbolizes unity and references the history of the Kauguri fishing village, where knot-tying was an essential skill. The mirror-smooth, hand-polished surface reflects the surroundings – apartment blocks, historical buildings, a Catholic church, pine trees, and Jūrmala’s ever-changing skies.
