Apropos

Press about us

In the tribunes of mass media and during direct confrontations with the audience, artists tend to complain on lack of publicity as to their value: scarce publications in press, on TV and the radio.

Artists are neither happy with those, who keep writing, showing and speaking because, in their consideration, they fail to write, show and speak the truth and do that in a ready-made, primitive, non-comprehensive manner.

We have heard more than once that artists know better of their true value as well as true significance and originality of each of their work.

Kamanė, without the slightest doubt, believes that; therefore, she has offered to all the professional Kaunas artists, art groups and institutions the opportunity to unfold themselves in Lithuanian and English at their full beauty and grandeur within the space of this website. She suggested to choose an original and attractive way for self-presentation, the way that would be exclusively yours. The results of original self-advertisement are here.

Estate of Žemaitkiemis

Printable version

Žemaitkiemis estate, which was established nearly 500 years ago, is a unique creative residency of Lithuanian artists. Mindaugas Šventoraitis who purchased the estate in 1999 cleaned it from the content left by the Soviet livestock farm and the drunkards of the reborn Lithuanian village.
M.Šventoraitis is restoring the unique but devastated estate as a solid centre of the city art and culture in the countryside. Buildings are being restored, the surroundings are tidied up according to the iconographical material, and the estate has been attracting artists and admirers of their works since 2000.
Žemaitkiemis estate is open to various cultural events: Pažaislis Music Festival, international inter-disciplinary art symposiums, evenings of elite cinema, scientific conferences, meetings of folk music ensembles, exhibitions, Žemaitkiemis Midsummer Eve coinciding with symposiums, etc.
During the summer season, the estate is visited by a large number of people from Lithuania and abroad – they are always met with pleasure, and the collection of ancient equipment as well as exhibitions open at that time are presented benevolently to visitors.
The organisers of Pažaislis Music Festival have chosen the estate purposefully – it is located in a strategically good place (near the motorway Vilnius – Klaipėda), has the concert hall of good acoustics with 800 seats, which has been constructed along with the stage and good lighting, in the old stack-yard of the estate.
Moreover, an exhibition and conference hall of 100 seats has been furnished with modern video projection equipment, the estate has premises for symposiums and for lodging participants of plain-airs. The spaces of the estate territory, which include the pond and the old channel of the Nevėžis river, are used for creative projects as well.
