For the second consecutive year, Ellex in Latvia is pleased to support the Vija Celmins Foundation Visual Arts Grant – an initiative that provides opportunities to foster creative exploration and professional development within Latvia’s contemporary art scene.

In cooperation with the Latvian National Museum of Art, a grant of USD 30,000 will be awarded to one Latvian artist or artist collective. The grant aims to support the creative process, encourage the development of new ideas, and contribute to long-term professional growth.

Applications are open from 20 May to 30 June 2026.

We encourage Latvian artists to take advantage of this opportunity and apply.
