The Latvian Centre for Contemporary Art (LCCA) serves as a platform for contextualization of contemporary art into wider processes and promotion of Latvian contemporary art nationally and internationally.

 

LCCA holds exhibitions, organises the contemporary art festival Survival Kit, researches, collects, updates and disseminates information about contemporary art, organises lectures, discussions, conferences, develops cultural initiatives of innovative and cross-disciplinary nature, contributes to the development of cultural policy.

 

One of the main tasks of the LCCA is to develop and encourage an open-minded critically thinking environment, thus stimulating interchange between art and society.

 

LCCA is a dynamic unit of cultural producers researching the ties between art and current processes in society.

LCCA studies the city and the surrounding reality as the fields of creative opportunities, reacts on the movements in the global art scene by collaborating with artists and art organisations, informing, educating, analysing, provoking, asking questions, naming and often breaking the boundaries of the common, invites to participate and to be socially active.

LCCA cares about responsible cultural policy and is an active member and one of the founders of the Latvian Association of the Contemporary Culture Organisations.

LCCA is located at the heart of Riga’s Art Nouveau district – Alberta Street 13. Everybody is welcome to visit the library, the information centre and the “Office gallery” of LCCA.
