According to the decision of the Minister of Culture Simonas Kairys, state grants will be awarded to Ukrainian cultural and professional art creators seeking asylum in Lithuania.

Ukrainian developers will be able to apply for a monthly grant of 600 euros for three months period. This financial support aims to support the creative activities of Ukrainian artists, to promote their cooperation with the Lithuanian cultural community in the fields of architecture, libraries, circus, art, design, ethnic culture and folk art, photography, cinema, cultural heritage, literature, museums, music, dance, interdisciplinary arts, theater. Not only artists, but also other cultural workers, such as translators, restorers, and guides, can apply for the grants.

It is expected that many strong creative partnerships will be established by promoting cooperation between Ukrainian creators and Lithuanian cultural organizations, and benefits for the culture of both countries will be felt in the future as well.

The Lithuanian Culture Council and the Lithuanian Film Center will publish more detailed information at the beginning of April at www.ltkt.lt/en and http://www.lkc.lt/en/
