The exhibition \u201cArtists of the Ogre Region\u201d is a competitive exhibition that provides artists with an opportunity to showcase their work while strengthening the artistic identity and recognition of the Ogre region. It encourages regional artists to participate more actively in cultural, artistic, and public processes.<\/p>\r\n
Exhibition is open: May 16 \u2013 August 3, 2025.<\/b><\/p>\r\n
The competitive exhibition aims to provide artists with an opportunity to showcase their work while strengthening the artistic identity and recognition of the Ogre region, and to encourage regional artists to participate more actively in cultural, artistic, and public processes. Artists with a connection to the Ogre region were invited to participate regardless of their professional experience, and we received 51 applications. The works selected for the exhibition were chosen by a jury: M\u0101ris Grosbahs, Curator of Exhibitions and Displays at the Ogre History and Art Museum; photographer Georgs Avetisjans; art historian M\u0101ra L\u0101ss; graphic artist and art historian Valdis Villeru\u0161s; and scenographer and multimedia artist Ineta Sipunova.<\/p>\r\n
For the Museum, fostering dialogue between the past, present, and future is essential, as is seeking connection with people, the region, and the present day through art. We bring art to people \u2013 from the heart. We need to present diverse perspectives, which is why we seek to collaborate with artists, partners, and audiences whom we do not always encounter in museum spaces.<\/p>\r\n
The aim of the Ogre History and Art Museum is to establish the regional artists\u2019 exhibition as a regular event that will serve as a stable platform for showcasing the diversity and potential of local art.<\/p>\r\n
