The VV Foundation runs a year-round Research trips programme that seeks to introduce invited 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.

These encounters are intended to drive an exchange of ideas, creative perspectives and artistic experiments, while establishing lasting connections and fostering the international presence, recognition and appreciation of Latvian art. Along with organising curated visits for invited international art professionals, we provide information on Latvian artists, art institutions and processes to researchers and interested parties upon request.
