Évora_27 – European Capital of Culture, the University of Évora, Projecto DME and Lisboa Incomum announce an Open Call for music submissions for the project “Lá nas Árvores”, with its first cycle “Feel the Earth”, under the artistic direction of Ana Telles, taking place from 23rd to 26th October 2025, in Évora (Portugal).

Liepāja 2027 is seeking professionals in the creative industries — project management, production, communication, and marketing — to jointly deliver an ambitious cultural program featuring hundreds of events from 2025 to 2027.

The European Commission has published the Second Monitoring Report on the progress of Évora_27 – European Capital of Culture, stating that the management of the initiative “is on the right track.”

To enrich the programme of Liepāja – European Capital of Culture 2027 with innovative, interdisciplinary, contemporary and outstanding cultural events, hence boosting the international cooperation, the Liepāja 2027 Foundation is launching an open international competition for the co-financing of cultural and artistic initiatives.

Over the weekend, 30 young people from Liepāja, South Kurzeme and Kuldīga took to the stage to present their culture venue development ideas as part of the Liepāja 2027 youth development pilot programme. After a day of pitching, the jury awarded the main prize of €1,000 to the team behind “Ravegrieži”, a summer solstice rave set to take place in Kuldīga on 20 June.
