Pāvilosta-Artist-in-Residency (PAiR) is a space for inventive encounters, where artists, creators, researchers and curators develop their projects in a stimulating environment free of distractions and conducive to cross-disciplinary dialogue.
VV Foundation runs a year-round Research Trips Programme that seeks to introduce selected international gallerists, curators, art critics and journalists to the Latvian contemporary art scene by offering guided visits to artists’ studios, artist-run spaces, museums and galleries.
"Fostering meaningful connections is at the core of the VV Foundation’s activities of supporting, exhibiting and discussing contemporary art in a glocal vein."

"By nurturing contemporary art and creative practices via driving cross-disciplinary encounters, we contribute to writing the most complicated and debated history there is – the history of the present."
