About

From 25 to 31 May 2026, Riga Art Week (RAW) will land in Riga for the second time. Same as last year, this year we aim to promote cooperation between art institutions, galleries and industry representatives, highlighting the potential of Riga on the European cultural events map.

During the festival, special attention will be paid to the integration of contemporary art into the urban environment of this city: events will take place both in well-known cultural venues and in completely new locations.

Riga Art Week is organized by the Latvian Gallery Association in cooperation with the Riga Investment and Tourism Agency.
