LITHUANIAVilnius – Open Gallery
It´s not that easy to find the entrance of this factory area if you don´t know it. But there is a little industrial quarter, just a little block between some streets with small factories made out of bricks. And the owners let artist put some artworks on the factory walls and the administration buildings. It´s suprising and inspirative, as well super esthetic. They have several Streetart Festivals in Vilnius and every time some more color stays on the buildings in the city.

Keulė Rūkė & Artist Marla Singer
Delicious burgers and fantastic graffiti diversity next to the table. When you go to Vilnius you should definitely visit the unconventional artist and alternative dinner place Keulė Rūkė in the Pylimo street 66 near the train station. The whole restaurant, the walls outside and inside, the garden area in the backyard and even the roof and the floor, just everything is painted and bombed. It´s a wonderfully loaded color clash you wouldn´t expect in this street close to the tracks.

DJ KAMEU – minimal.lt – MINIMAL MONDAY – Supynes
Monday is usually not the best day to party. The week already started, mostly there is still enough satisfaction or headache from the weekend, so you don´t find many people who go out, therefore as well not many places are open and offer long lasting venues. But this is not the case in Vilnius, on Mondays there is always a special program of high quality electronic music at the Minimal Monday events of minimal.lt. In summer they take place at the Vasaros Terasa, in winter at the indoor club Cape Kablys. We joined an event and interviewed Filipas Rimkus aka DJ KAMEU.

Domas Mykolas – Mythological and Contemporary Sculptor
Huge balloon dinosaurs, wolf skulls or a little Trump figure with a spray can – these are some of the amazing sculptural artworks of Domas Mykolas from Vilnius. We met the creative artist while finishing one of his newest masterpieces at the remodeling spray event at Keulė Rūkė. His freshly made artwork was part of the “make empathy great again” mural at the front. The message is wonderful and about forgiveness and connecting. Hug the boy, it´s just a kid who did some graffiti with questions about what went wrong during the boys growing up and what kind of mess is he doing since he isn´t a kid anymore. And what is the real vandalism, color on walls or bombs on walls? Could this little figure not just have stood a kid? The whole group artwork is just brilliant, Domas contributed with the nice Trump statue.
